"Now it is time for us to rise to our newest and biggest challenge: to fight the first great war of interdependence, the struggle for climate security." -- Margaret Beckett, British Foreign Secretary, in a speech given in New York the day before the UN Security Council meeting.

The UN Security Council this week held its first ever debate on climate change and the potential threat that global warming poses to international security. British foreign secretary Margaret Beckett, who chaired the meeting, organised the open session to highlight what she called the ‘security imperative’ to tackle climate change. According to Beckett, climate change can exacerbate problems that cause conflicts and threaten the entire planet. She was clearly very pleased with the UK-led initiative, stating that: ‘This is a groundbreaking day in the history of the Security Council, the first time ever that we will debate climate change as a matter of international peace and security.’

Who can deny this? Here the groundwork is being laid to use the deadliest power in history to enforce compliance.

Can't say I'm surprised. Maybe those who didn't believe the scheme was about people control on a global level will begin to see it forming now.
