Recently, a group of eleven retired American Generals urged the Bush administration to act on climate change as it "poses a serious threat to national security, as the US could be drawn into wars over water and other conflicts."<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6557803.stm</ref>

==Falsity of Lindzen==
The main opposition that Lindzen has against "alarmists" of global warming is that storms wll not be strengthened and dissenters are quieted with money and fear. The first claim has slightly more merit than the second, because his point on the rising humidity has some validity. However, with the equator warming much faster than the poles, the hurricaine creating oceans getting warmer than 27 degrees celsius, and stored solar energy in the atmosphere, studies show that the amount of violent storms will increase. In the last decade, we have had more devasting category 4 or 5 storms recorded than ever before. His second claim on the silencing of scientists is a wild accusation at governments across the globe. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was based on the research of over 2,500 scientists from 100 nations across the globe and consistantly supports the majority of the American and global scientific community.<ref>http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0921-01.htm</ref>
