“Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters,” reported left-wing newspaper the Guardian on February 22, 2004.
“A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world,” the report added.
The alarmist document went on to claim that nations would resort to using nuclear weapons to protect dwindling food supplies, a situation that would “bring the planet to the edge of anarchy.”
Remember guys, it's just 5 days until the UK is "plunged into a Siberian climate."
From the same trustworthy people who gave you mass starvation of humanity by the 80's, "ice free" Arctic summers by 2013 and Greta Thunberg.

The authors of the report, Peter Schwartz and Doug Randall, also asserted that “By 2020 ‘catastrophic’ shortages of water and energy supply will become increasingly harder to overcome, plunging the planet into war,” causing widespread “crop failure” and “famine.”

These kind of thought exercises were [are?] a regular product of the Office of Net Assessment. They are paid to think "out of the box".
The report makes for interesting reading:

I've actually read that report. Zerohedge's article does not characterize it well.
The report was a product of Andrew Marshall's "net assessment" office at the Pentagon. It was NOT a prediction of what would come; it was meant as a thought exercise -- that, were the climate to experience another "little Ice Age", what would be the implications for U.S. national security?

You mean Zerohedge misprepresented? I'm shocked.
Agree, the documents presents scenarios and not predictions.
Of course if that causes problems, they will blame it on carbon emissions.
