This is a link to a report commissioned by the Department of Defense in 2003 - - An Abrupt Climate Change Scenario and Its Implications for United States National Security.
The authors' views are extreme - - wars, starvation, disease, refugee flows, a human population crash, civil war in China, and the defensive fortification of the United States.
The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has opened a center specifically dedicated to assessing climate change in the context of national security.
Extreme, yes. Plausible, maybe. Should the engineering professions also be looking at climate change with the same relevance as DOD? Yes - - and quickly.
