As outlined in Christian Parentis 2011 book, Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence, the military establishment understands climate change is an unparalleled global threat, saying so clearly in reports like the QDR. The problem: its activities around the world are in large part responsible for the threat to begin with. With special operations forces stationed in over 100 countries around the world, one things for certain: the environmental costs of militarism are huge. But until the Pentagons call for unimpeded access to land, air, and sea training and test space ends, we can continue to expect QDRs every four years drawing increasingly horrific conclusions.
