This account is very misleading. They report a Pentagon "What if..." exercise as a Pentagon prediction. There is a frightening possibility that sudden climate change can occur, with some of the outcomes described here. But this sensationalism takes away from the serious discussion that needs to hit the mainstream media. Gene Coyle ================= Yeah, that piece read like the person who wrote it had thrown back a couple of pints or been toking on that Brit weed. The Fortune article was better. The reference to Yoda is a tiny hint as to how much sci. fi. is read by military brass over the past 25 years. From people I know who are in or have just left Orson Scott Card and Vernor Vinge are *very* popular with the new generation of Herman Khans. Ian
