  Climate change may provoke conflict between the European Union and Russia as Arctic ice melts, easing access to fossil-fuel deposits and opening new sea routes, the 27-nation bloc's top two foreign policy officials said.

  Warming temperatures may pose ``serious security risks'' including increased immigration, less secure water supplies in some countries and diminishing food and fish stocks, EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner said today in an 11-page report.

  This could become a worldwide disruption! Scary to just think about, much less actually happening!

  Thanks engineer!

  I saw some cons on another thread talking about how weird the weather was, but poohpoohed anyone who mentioned global warming. It's going to be a rude awakening for some of them.

  And as usual, we are going to have a lot of people who will say that's not true, that's fake, that all the scientists are mad, and that climate doesn't change....until the worse happen....and this article could be the worse!

  Thanks Engineer!
