Dr. John Robson looks at a 2003 Pentagon report predicting drought, flooding, wars, famine and mass flight from Europe by 2020 due to climate change, and asks why nobody blew the whistle on it before it was released and how experts and journalists could hype this trash as treasure without damage to their reputations.

Dr. John Robson examines the vital question of how much warming CO2 really causes. How high is ECS (Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity), the amount of warming scientists expect if atmospheric CO2 doubles? And how fast will it happen? If both are high, we face a crisis.
