UN security council to consider climate change peacekeeping

The guardian | July 20, 2011

A special meeting of the United Nations security council is due to consider whether to expand its mission to keep the peace in an era of climate change.

The Green Helmets, oh goodie. There's nothing peaceful sounding in that name. I like how they use the word force when talking about peacekeeping. Nothing good can come out of that. I'm sure Al Gore will want to take the helm as the Green commander. There's nothing the Global Warming stooge would love more.
