Description
The Cold War shaped world politics for half a century. But global warming may shape the patterns of global conflict for much longer than that and help spark clashes that will be, in every sense of the word, hot wars.
We're used to thinking of climate change as an environmental problem, not a military one, but it's long past time to alter that mindset. Climate change may mean changes in Western lifestyles, but in some parts of the world, it will mean far more.
