Admiral Samuel Locklear of the United States Navy identified "climate change" as the biggest security threat America faces in the Pacific.

"America¹s top military officer in charge of monitoring hostile actions by North Korea, escalating tensions between China and Japan, and a spike in computer attacks traced to China provides an unexpected answer when asked what is the biggest long-term security threat in the Pacific region: climate change," reports the Boston Globe.

Climate change, Locklear told the Globe, ³is probably the most likely thing that is going to happen . . . that will cripple the security environment, probably more likely than the other scenarios we all often talk about.¹¹

Locklear says that some folks "are surprised" to hear about the threat of climate change.
