Scientist Testifies on Global Warming

Cicerone also bolstered a 2004 Pentagon report that two private consultants prepared on potential global impacts of an abrupt and severe change in the world’s climate. When the report was issued, it was met with some skepticism and disbelief – even by the Pentagon official who commissioned the study.

Among the dire consequences sketched out were surging seas breaking down levees in the Netherlands in 2007, making the Hague “unlivable,” and Europe’s climate becoming “more like Siberia’s” by 2020. They saw possible “mega-droughts” in southern China and northern Europe.

“It was well done,” Cicerone said of the report. “I didn’t think it was fictional.”
