U.S. intelligence agencies should take more seriously the security
implications of climate change, including placing a greater research
emphasis on the likelihood of widespread social upheaval, an advisory
panel said on Friday.

Somewhat ironically, the only widespread social upheaval caused by
climate change has been food riots in the third world as the price of
food has increased due to its use in synthetic fuels (alcohol and
bio-diesel).

Easily fixed. Just remove the subsidies on agricultural production of
ethanol. It is a complete waste of time environmentally (ethanol
production from corn in the US uses almost as much fuel as it produces)
and forcing starving people to compete with SUV owners for agricultural
production is morally bankrupt.

Puerile nonsense, ass hat.

The only "social upheaval" so far has been riots over food in third world
countries where the food has gone to make "biofuel", aka alcohol, in
a total waste of food, time, and money.

Expect more riots in the near future over electricity prices as "green"
electricity continues to drive up prices.

All unrelated to "climate change" and caused by Chicken Little true
believers with thier panties in a knot.

Actually more fuel than produced. Ethanol production is nowhere near
self
sustaining when fuel costs of growing and harvesting the crop are
included.
Green energy indeed!!!
