CIA "Secrets"

CIA urged to be more open about climate change

   The CIA has existed with a great aura of mystique within American culture. It is seen by many as the realm of covert spies and the storehouse for confidential state secrets. Though, perhaps this should not be the case for the CIA's investigation of matters such as climate change. The Defense Science Board, a U.S.  government agency, issued a report which suggested precisely this. The CIA should begin "sharing the intelligence it has been gathering on climate change," the report says. This raises a few interesting questions. First, could this information be helpful in displaying the severity of the situation of the planet? If so, assuming the information would not compromise information vitally important to maintaining the safety of American citizens, why has it not been released already?
