By the way (not trying to hijack the string, but related...), Hadley was
hacked last night. Apparently tons of emails/documents related to potential
climate change data manipulation, fraud, etc. Going viral.

Just in time for Copenhagen.

In light of this, there's this quote from SECNAV's brief: 

"The stakes of the status quo extend even further, beyond the military, and
cause second and third order effects on the environment. The carbon that's
emitted from our ships, aircraft, and vehicles is a contributor to global
warming and climate change. According to the projections endorsed by our own
Task Force on Climate Change, global warming could result in an Arctic Ocean
free of summer ice within 25 years. The security implications of this are
dramatic. In short, we have not acted as very responsible stewards of our
environment."

Is a focus on "operational [energy] independence" a steadier strategy given
all the pushback on anthropomorphic global warming?
