I imagine the CIA is analyzing the climate, although they don't publish their analysis, since their role is just to advise Congress and white house?

I really believe that climate change can threaten global stability and security, and thus the military should be interested in learning about it to anticipate.

I guess they already know, but maybe there is just no gain in letting the public know about those dangers.

India and Brazil are two countries that will probably see a lot of nasty heatwaves and climate refugees.

Soon or later, the climate will have real economic and geopolitical effect, and that's when things turn from worrying to interesting.

Both the CIA and DoD have published a great deal of information about the potential military and related geopolitical consequences of climate change, over at least the past decade.


Really? I haven't seen a lot of it...

I don't see how those reports are not talked about more, and I would be curious what's their predictions are... I would guess india is at the top of the list?

I imagine people would listen more to the CIA and DOD than scientists.
