This is noteworthy.
Gen. Gordon Sullivan (ret.), former U.S. Army Chief of Staff and a contributor to National Security and the Threat of Climate Change, yesterday urged G8 nations to “seriously consider” President Bush’s new climate proposal and any other plans for addressing climate change at next week’s summit stating “climate change threatens not just the environment but also the national security of both industrialized and developing nations.”
Gen. Sullivan makes two points that stand out to me. First, “the fight against climate change is one battle in the world’s larger fight against terrorism and extremism.” Second, the importance of including China and India in any meaningful international climate discussions, which Gen. Sullivan notes is a goal of President Bush’s proposal.
