Climate change poses a major threat to future peace and security, a senior UN official has warned. Achim Steiner from the UN Environment Programme said climate change would also “exponentially” increase the scale of natural disasters. His comments followed a UN declaration of famine in parts of Somalia. Meanwhile, Russia rejected a Security Council statement backed by Western nations which asserted the link, but later agreed to a weaker text. The Russian envoy Alexander Pankin said he was sceptical about the implications of putting climate change on the security council’s agenda. Security Council members finally agreed to a text which spoke of the “possible security implications” of climate change.

What we should worry about is the coming ice age which we are already due or even overdue for based on every previous interglacial over last million years.
