Holy crap, is it worse than we thought?

A secret report, suppressed by US defense chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a 'Siberian' climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world.

Is this report real, and if so, is it the ramblings of a paranoid old man, the worst-case scenario, or should we really get our assless chaps now?

well....it's a bit old (from 2004) and the fact that there are no links to this "report" make me say hmm....

Guardian wrote:So dramatic are the report's scenarios, Watson said, that they may prove vital in the US elections. Democratic frontrunner John Kerry is known to accept climate change as a real problem. Scientists disillusioned with Bush's stance are threatening to make sure Kerry uses the Pentagon report in his campaign.

Not sure if the Guardian is a UK version of the NY Times or the NY Post or the National Enquirer 😀

Ahhh, good catch on the date. I've got to be careful of that as I follow link to link to link. . .almost 4 years, I'm guessing it's not all that credible or we'd have seen/heard more of it.

Damn.... I was so ready for my Assless Chaps....

You weren't the only one fooled. It was up on BoingBoing.net for a while as well as it showed up in my RSS feed. When I clicked the link to go to the actual site however, it had magically disappeared.

Atomm, you can still get the assless chaps if you want. Bubba told me about this store out in p-town that sells them in all sizes.

DOH!

doh
