Kopplingen mellan klimat och säkerhet


Ta dig tid att titta på denna video. Den handlar om arbetet med den rapport som The CNA Corporation presenterade i april 2007: National Security and the Threat of Climate Change.

Det är saker på gång i USA kring detta, t.ex. vad gäller underrättelsetjänsten:


"(...) both Houses of Congress are now considering legislation that would put Federal intelligence experts to work studying the connection between climate change and national security. Both H.R. 2082 and S. 1538 would direct the Director of National Intelligence to submit to Congress, within 270 days of enactment, "a National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on the anticipated geopolitical effects of global climate change and the implications of such effects on the national security of the United States."
