Climate Change, Migration, and Conflict

Sounds grand when in fact it is a short review of the impact on the defence estate from climate change, after a FOI request by Friends of the Earth:http://www.iiss.org/en/militarybalan...d-defence-afeb

1. Potentially. IMHO climate changes, for example the Sahel and the desert space spreading, mooted twenty years ago, has happened and with AFAIK little inter-state conflict. I suspect climate change has been over-stated.

I'm not an expert on climate change, but it has a very visible impact on my life in Nigeria.

The drying up of the region around Lake Chad has led to Fulani herdsmen moving down south and more intense inter-ethnic conflicts.

I don't think climate change will result in inter-state conflicts in Africa. The real worry is intra-state (inter-ethnic) conflicts.
