OK, I can almost see how Global Warming could cause a war. The Greens vs the Industrial Nations or something like that, but I can't see how it can exacerbate overpopulation, unless you think people are more likely to have sex in warm weather. How do you expect that Global Warming will eventually reduce population? Tidal surges into low lying areas or via famine resulting from a reduction in arable land?
