Climate change should be recognized for what it is: an issue of national security

GreenPolicy360/Strategic Demands:

Since the 1970s we have advanced a new vision of 'national security'. The work goes on amidst years of political challenge.

New Definitions of National Security

After decades of Earth Science and environmental initiatives, progress and international cooperation, the recent four years of US denial, blame and retreat delivered a severe setback to comprehensive national security. The record of the Trump presidency and its politics concluded with an attack on the US Capitol in Washington DC.

The departure in January 2021 of the Trump administration, after a historic US election, ended overt and strident Trump rejection of science and its ignominious program of "burning the data".

Trump administration's efforts to delete/block/defund fact-finding atmospheric/earth/climate science will be remembered for what it was -- "Burning Data" and dark days...

The Biden administration enters office with a call to action

At the invitation of the new U.S. president, nations are gathering this week in a virtual climate summit to share their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) toward solving the climate change crisis.

We, GreenPolicy360 with our associate Strategic Demands, will continue covering news of the climate conference, both good and threatening. Our several decades of pushing for immediate, concerted action and 'New Definitions of National Security' by all nations is front of stage, and confronted by old definitions of security, conflicts and wars, that take our eyes off of the existential challenges of climate -- and a resurgent, escalating nuclear weapons threat.

Here, following in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, we look at a key group of experts sounding alarms about both nuclear war and climate disaster.

Climate change is a great existential challenge of our time and must given a spotlight and focus of our citizen action.
