#3 ION WMF > USDOD "CLIMATE CHANGE 2012-2020" REPORT: TWO US EXPERTS WARN THAT A SEVERE WINTER COULD OCCUR IN 2012 WHICH WILL INDUCE MASS DIASPORAS IN JAPAN, RUSSIA, + SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES. "CLIMATE REFUGEES" FROM CARIBBEAN ISLANDS MAY FLOCK TO THE MAINLAND US, MEXICO, OR OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE AMERICAN HEMISPHERE. WAVES OF EUROPEAN REFUGEES TO CONUS-NORAM DUE TO WATER, FOOD, + ENERGY CRISES, + DESIRE TO IMPROVE PERSONAL ECON WEALTH.

OTHER:
> RISING WORLD OIL PRICES = lead to mil or violence-led conflicts in the Persian Gulf + Caspian Sea Regions by Year 2020???
> FRANCE-VS-GERMANY Conflict over RHINE VALLEY RESOURCES in Year 2022???
> US-VS-CHINA CONFLICT in the Persian Gulf by circa Year 2025???
> ROUTINE ARCTIC ICE MELTS = will increasingly damage iff not destroy the WORLD'S SOURCES FOR FRESHWATER???

"PEAK WATER" = END OF "CHEAP WATER"???

["TANK GIRL" Movie here].

Ironically, "PEAK WATER" = only proves the need for OTC CHEAP CONSUMER-CENTRIC NUCLEAR POWER = FREE MARKETS, NOT THE ALTERNATIVE.

Again, IMO GREEN TECHS includ GREEN ENERGY = human survival in FAR-OFF/DISTANT [Earth-like]PLANETS IN DEEP SPACE, vee Space Travel + Colonization, nostsomuch back here in our TERRAN/GAIEAN HOMEWORLD although this is not to argue that there no implications or effects on the latter.

#4 Last night I saw the head of an Australian Solar Panel manufacturer whining about how the Labor government's proposed carbon tax would hurt his business. Making stuff is energy intensive.

#5 While Obama Hussein continues to try to crush the US Petrolium Industry, he handing over $3 Billion of US Taxpayer money to build a refinery in Columbia, a stimulus to another foreign economy. One that takes jobs and money away from Americans.

#6 Yah, I suspect they've been wanting to push the refineries out of the country for a while now. Too many republicans work in them.
