New US military report on global warming raises worry - Calls theories on the cause 'contradictory' [View All]

More obfuscation concerning Global Warming from the administration. Not reassuring in the least. I hope the Obama administration will straighten that up, and stop the habit of politically interfering in scientific research. To my knowledge, the theories are for the most part not contradictory, though you may still find a few scientists resisting to man-made global climate change

The long-range planning document, published Thursday by the US Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Va., which is responsible for developing blueprints for future military strategy, is intended to provide a "basis for thinking about the world a quarter of a century from now."
But a section of the 56-page report on climate change and natural disasters prompted criticism yesterday from some leading specialists who said that spreading the inaccurate perception that the causes of climate change remain an open question could result in government agencies not taking the issue seriously enough.

It adds: "In many respects, scientific conclusions about the causes and potential effects of global warming are contradictory."

That last line in particular was singled out at a panel discussion hosted yesterday by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank, on the topic of climate change and national security.
