Top U.S. Officials warned Wednesday that Climate Change is increasingly becoming a Threat to National Security, once again exhibiting daylight between the President and some in his Administration on the Issue.
While Appearing before the House Intelligence Committee, Top Military and Intelligence Officials discussed a series of Threats emanating from Climate Change including:
- Land Disputes
- Food
- Water Shortages
that can Lead to Political Turmoil and the Melting Ice in the Arctic they believe Russia could use for Commercial Purposes.
“Climate change effects could undermine important international systems on which the U.S. is critically dependent, such as trade routes, food and energy supplies, the global economy, and domestic stability abroad,” said Rod Schoonover, a Senior State Department Analyst focusing on Global Issues. “Most countries, if not all, are already unable to fully respond to the risks posed by climate-linked hazards under present conditions.”
