There Is No “National Security” Solution To The Climate Crisis — Christopher Johnson

A close read of the reports shows exactly why we should never turn to “national security” institutions to address a crisis that is fundamentally global, requiring solidaristic action that transcends nationalism. Taken together, the analyses paint a grim picture of a future where, in the face of mass displacement, water shortages, hunger and death, the U.S. response amounts to hunkering down and protecting its military mission, its dominance and its alliances against geopolitical foes.…

Sorry, but there is no solution without tackling it on the level of the world system, and that has zero chance of happening because it is not only a material problem but also politically charged in an environment of international and domestic divisiveness. Without a significant rise in the level of collective consciousness worldwide, the system change needed will prove impossible to accomplish. War is more likely, and many countries are making preparations for it.
