The full Pentagon report
I shouldn't be too surprised, I suppose, that with the exception of The Observer, the mainstream media has paid little attention to the report commissioned by the Pentagon on the security risk associated with climate change. Neither the BBC nor CNN considered it worth reporting, and only today has it rated a mention in The New York Times, albeit in conjunction with reference to an upcoming Hollywood movie on the subject of environmental catastrophe (see The Sky is Falling! Say Hollywood and, Yes, the Pentagon). For those interested, the full Pentagon report is available here. If you choose to read it you will be doing what, according to the NYT, the powers-that-be in Washington won't. Apparently a Pentagon spokesmen has said the report had not been passed on to the 'top brass' in the Defense Department or the Bush administration.
