Mongabay: This week, Admiral Samuel J. Locklear II, the head of U.S. military forces in the Pacific, told The Boston Globe that climate change was the gravest threat in the region. While such an assessment may be surprising, given North Korea's recent nuclear tests, the U.S. military has long viewed climate change as a massive destabilizing force on global security. "You have the real potential here in the not-too-distant future of nations displaced by rising sea level," Locklear said. "Certainly weather...

Press TV: A top US military official says climate change is the biggest security threat in the Pacific region, a report says. Navy Admiral Samuel J. Locklear III, the US Pacific Forces top commander, said in an interview recently reported by the Boston Globe newspaper that he considers rising sea levels as the top security threat.
