One
source for connecting war to temperature comes from the political
closeness between environmentalists and the antiwar movement.Their
logic goes like this: “Global warming is bad. Wars are bad. Therefore

The catalyst for war is the ignorance of leaders that leads them to
misjudge. Humans start wars believing they will be profitable, short,

change as a national-security threat might in time cause our military
to embrace alternative sources of energy before these technologies are
proven. Should this happen, our men and women in uniform might well be
fighting a war with underpowered and poorly performing weapons. [Full
