Call #: 363.73874 K633a Subjects Climatic changes -- Government policy -- United States.   National security -- Environmental aspects -- United States.   Security, International -- Environmental aspects.   Climatology.   Ecology.   National security -- United States.   Environmental policy -- United States. ISBN:  9781627792486 (hc.) Alternate title:  Pentagon's perspective on climate change Edition:  1st ed. Description:  viii, 293 p. : maps ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages [239]-278) and index. Contents:  Introduction -- A world besieged : the climate threat to American national security -- Humanitarian emergencies : climate disasters, civil disorder, and U. S. military relief operations -- States on the brink : Resource scarcity, ethnic strife, and government collapse -- Global shock waves : food shortages, energy crises, pandemics, and mass migrations -- Great-power clashes : the melting Arctic and other conflict zones -- The homeland at risk : domestic climate disasters and the military's strategic predicament -- No safe harbors : the climate change threat to American military facilities -- Going green : the Pentagon as change agent. Summary:  "None of the major institutions in American society take climate change as seriously as the U.S. military. As participants in climate-triggered conflicts abroad, and as first responders to hurricanes and other disasters on American soil, the armed services are already confronting the impacts of global warming. Drawing on previously obscure reports and government documents, Klare shows how droughts and food shortages are stoking conflicts in ethnically divided nations. Pandemics and other humanitarian disasters will increasingly require extensive military involvement. And rising seas threaten American cities and military bases themselves." -- adapted from jacket.
