Pentagon Warns Climate Change Will Increase Conflicts

The Pentagon says that climate change “poses a serious threat to U.S. military operations and will lead to new sources of global political conflict,” CNBC reports.

“Water shortages could become a primary source of friction or conflict between U.S. military overseas and the countries where troops are based, the Department warned. It also expects that political efforts to mitigate food and water shortages will result in more frequent physical and cyber terrorist attacks from unknown third parties.”
