...when "Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters"?
The Pentagon is predicting (or maybe just "contingency planning") that rapid global climate change will occur in the next decades, accompanied by famine, plague, pestilence, and war. Check out the Observer article (via The Guardian) here, or the Fortune article here.
For some background on abrupt climate change, look to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and this article in Physics Today (with a more detailed version here).
