Western nations clashed with Russia and developing countries on Wednesday over whether climate change was a security matter meriting the attention of the security council, the most powerful UN body.

Diplomats said Russia initially blocked the adoption of a statement on the issue by the 15-nation council, but later agreed to a revised, weakly worded text that spoke of the "possible security implications" of climate change. It also failed to take forward the mooted idea of a "green helmets" climate peacekeeping force.

Even NATO is planning to counter the effects of the Global Warming and they would definitely not do that if they would regard it a fake !
