The Pentagon identifies climate change as a threat multiplier
and links climate change to rising instability and insecurity
around the globe. But what about the inverse? Murtaza Hussain,
political and national security reporter for The Intercept,
explores the forgotten costs to America’s endless wars: climate
change. How does warfare contribute to and exacerbate the climate
crisis? What are the ecological and health effects of
industrialized war, and what can American society do to curb the
climate emergency?
Murtaza Hussain is a journalist for The Intercept whose work
focuses on national security, foreign policy, and human rights. His
most recent article is Industrialized Militaries Are a Bigger Part
of the Climate Emergency Than You Know.
