Global Warming as Great a Threat as War?
AccuWeather.com - March 3, 2007
Not sure if I agree with the premise of this statement. There is no scientific evidence of this statement made by the UN Secretary-General. This is pure politics.
In an address Thursday, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said global warming presents as great a threat to the world as war. He then urged the United States to lead the fight against global warming.
…the danger posed by war to all of humanity and to our planet is at least matched by the climate crisis and global warming.
In coming decades, changes in our environment and the resulting
upheavals from droughts to inundated coastal areas to loss of arable
land are likely to become a major driver of war and conflict
