Here are 15 current and former national security officials in their own words reviewing the threats posed by climate change:
- Thomas Fingar, former chairman of President Bush’s National
Intelligence Council: “We judge global climate change will have wide-ranging
implications for U.S. national security interests over the next 20 years … We
judge that the most significant impact for the United States will be indirect
and result from climate-driven effects on many other countries and their
potential to seriously affect U.S. national security interests.”
