So a secret report has leaked that claims within 20 years everyone will be warring with everyone over eroding land availability and diminished natural resources.

This is going to come as a total shock to the Bush Administration who still plays ostrich when it comes to issues of global warming and climate change.

What's not clear is how things have been fine for the last 1000 years, but in the next 20 years everything is going to become a disaster area. In geologic time 20 years isn't even a sneeze. Are we really destroying the Earth at this rate?

One claim is that millions of people will be displaced by flooding as early as next year. Is this Chicken Little doom and gloom or are there already signs that this is happening?

Hopefully more details will come as the Secret Report is flushed out and dissected.
