UNITED NATIONS IPCC - The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change. Having declared a Code Red, we wonder how that equated to the Defense Readiness Condition, better known as the "Defcon" warning system, in terms of war footing.


 

 

DefCon 2 is where the military are making actual preparations for DefCon1 such as to be able to deploy nuclear missiles in less than six hours, with all out thermo-nuclear war imminent, Code Red (or white) leading to World War Three.

 

DEFCON 2 - Cuban Missile Crisis

The highest level of DEFCON known to have been used was Level 2. During the Cuban Missile Crisis on October 22, 1962.

 

The U.S. Armed Forces were ordered to DEFCON 3. On October 26, Strategic Air Command (SAC) was ordered to DEFCON 2, while the rest of the U.S. Armed Forces remained at DEFCON 3. SAC remained at DEFCON 2 until November 15.

 

Persian Gulf War

 

On January 15, 1991, the Joint Chiefs of Staff declared DEFCON 2 in the opening phase of Operation Desert Storm during the Persian Gulf War.

CODE AMBER - The scales of war are equally applicable to the heating of the planet in terms of changing our climate. DefCon two is where the Armed Forces are ready to deploy and engage in less than 6 hours in preparation for Code Red and DefCon1. DefCon 5 is the lowest state of readiness, normal conditions.

 

 

 

THE CLIMATE WAR

 

It might help us to look upon the war against global warming in military terms. As a war to be won strategically as a series of battles.

 

To win the war, we need to define the strategic objectives as a series of battles. Some of the key battles United Nations Members have lost already, in making all the right noises as to agreements to curb greenhouse gases, but actually doing very little about it. This has led to a constant rise in temperatures on planet earth, that at the present rate is almost sure to lead to civil and political unrest as food insecurity escalates from accelerated desertification and reduced agricultural land to grow crops and raise livestock. The starving masses are likely to rebel - and politicians tempers fray, making their trigger fingers itchy. At this point all thoughts of the devastation and suffering at Hiroshima and Nagasaki will be blanked out.

HOW MUCH IS THE EARTH HEATING UP - As of early 2017, the Earth had warmed by roughly 2 degrees Fahrenheit (more than 1 degree Celsius) since 1880, when records began at a global scale. The number may sound low, but as an average over the surface of an entire planet, it is actually high, which explains why much of the world’s land ice is starting to melt and the oceans are rising at an accelerating pace. If greenhouse gas emissions continue unchecked, scientists say, the global warming could ultimately exceed 8 degrees Fahrenheit, which would undermine the planet’s capacity to support a large human population.
