Revolutionary government takeover by promoting climate change legislation. What else would you call severely restrictive government control and confiscatory taxation levels which would empower a "political class" of elected officials, their bureaucratic henchmen and the special interests who bought and paid for their power?

Today's example of the "chicken little syndrome," where officials cry "the sky is falling" based on little or no scientific evidence and wild-ass projections based on flawed computer modeling, comes from Australia where the "eco-Nazis" are trying to force the signing of the globally destructive Kyoto protocol.

From an AFP (Agence France-Presse) report...

"Climate change poses this century's biggest security threat, possibly forcing the migration of millions of people from countries such as China, Australia's top policeman has warned."

A declarative fact not supported by the evidence, followed by his projection based on nothing more than a popular "doomsday-like" scenario with little probability of happening. I wonder what he thinks about the more likely scenario of a rogue nation obtaining nuclear weapons which, if detonated in the oilfields of the Middle East, could disrupt the economies of all industrial nations?

"Water and food shortages could send waves of migrants across oceans and borders in the Asia-Pacific region, causing social disruption and unrest, said Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty."

"For China to feed its predicted 2030 population, it needs to increase its food production by about 50 percent above today's levels," Keelty said.

"How does it achieve this, if its available land is dramatically shrinking and millions of people are on the move because of land and water.

Shouda, Woulda, Coulda projections based on nothing more than a faulty birthrate projection which has been linearized (straight line projection) and may not be representative of the underlying facts.

"In their millions, people could begin to look for new land and they'll cross oceans and borders to do it."

Is this an long-term opportunity to invest in boat  and airplanes? Or perhaps, we would have developed more "efficient" green transport in twenty to thirty years. Projections, as you can see, go both ways.

Does his scenario only work one way or are our scientists capable of figuring out how to using nuclear energy to power desalinization plants in the next twenty years?  Has this idiot ever consider that Los Angeles is a thriving megalopolis built on a desert -- made possible by the importation and judicious use of water? Or has he ever visited Dubai or the United Arab Emirates in August? Does he think that their populations have not adapted to warmer or extremely "hot" climates? Or does this dumbo think  that people will simply migrate to maintain their comfort zone involving a few degrees over thousands of years? 

The  mass displacement of people "particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, could create a great deal of social uncertainty and unrest in the region," Keelty said.

"The potential security issues are enormous and should not be underestimated."

I wonder if he bases his comments on the mass migration of Mexicans into the Southwestern portion of the United States. Here we have a mini-model of what happens when a population shift illegally invades another country and destroys its infrastructure. In essence, a demographic bomb is being exploded. Social uncertainty: you mean like having to order a meal in Spanish in the local drive through or being unable to read warning signs in a foreign language?
