[Reply]If you think every dollar spent by the Global Climate Change Research Program should be categorized as "climate alarmism" you're a lot more extreme than I thought.
Fair enough. I sit corrected.

Well, for the military, having a plan for everything, no matter how unlikely, is SOP.
We've got contingency plans to deal with an invasion from Canada.
They don't address the likelihood of AGW having serious effects. They just address what effects AGW might have and how to deal with them.
To not have plans in place for things like this is negligent.

Chief of US Pacific forces calls climate biggest worry
By Bryan Bender

CAMBRIDGE — America’s top military officer in charge of monitoring hostile actions by North Korea, escalating tensions between China and Japan, and a spike in computer attacks traced to China provides an unexpected answer when asked what is the biggest long-term security threat in the Pacific region: climate change.
Navy Admiral Samuel J. Locklear III, in an interview at a Cambridge hotel Friday after he met with scholars at Harvard and Tufts universities, said significant upheaval related to the warming planet “is probably the most likely thing that is going to happen . . . that will cripple the security environment, probably more likely than the other scenarios we all often talk about.’’
“People are surprised sometimes,” he added, describing the reaction to his assessment. “You have the real potential here in the not-too-distant future of nations displaced by rising sea level. Certainly weather patterns are more severe than they have been in the past. We are on super typhoon 27 or 28 this year in the Western Pacific. The average is about 17.”
. . . .
The US military, he said, is beginning to reach out to other armed forces in the region about the issue.
“We have interjected into our multilateral dialogue – even with China and India – the imperative to kind of get military capabilities aligned [for] when the effects of climate change start to impact these massive populations,” he said. “If it goes bad, you could have hundreds of thousands or millions of people displaced and then security will start to crumble pretty quickly.’’
