CIA Tries to Keep Climate Change Classified

In 2009, CIA started taking care of the environment. Or at least, this seems to be the idea they wanted to feed the public opinion with, after they showcased The Center on Climate Change and National Security.

The newly-born project had the specific goal of handling environmental key-issues such as climate change effects, the emerging problem represented by rising sea levels and the lack of efficiency in the agricultural sector.

After gathering the results for the year 2010, the organization was asked by a National Security Archive historian to provide a copy of their study, which supposedly reflected last year's situation.

As a response, CIA denied access to the files, stating that they are dealing with documents which are "currently and properly classified and must be denied in its entirety."

It seems that this strategy highlights CIA's concern towards the "protection of intelligence sources and methods, names, official titles, salaries, and numbers of personnel."

Everyone is responsible for climate changes. It's our global warming, our rising sea levels.Therefore, shouldn't we know?
