A report issued by a panel of distinguished military leaders concluded that climate change will be globally destabilizing. leading to diminished access to fresh water. reduced food production as India and subSaharan Africa become hotter and drier. increased health crises as vectorborne diseases spread. and displacement of large populations as sea levels rise and coastal lands flood. As scarcities increase. conflicts over diminishing resources will also increase. Governments in resourcestressed countries may collapse. Environmental stresses may lead to human migration and refugees. I mention this to emphasize that climate change has surprising ramifications. and that there is still much that we can all learn about this issue. with effects that go well beyond traditional environmental concerns. It is important that we all become better informed. that we analyze the information about climate change. so that we can learn how to more rationally respond.
