The Impact of Climate Change on National Security

As our climate heats up, so do geopolitical tensions. This week, co-hosts Elisa and Yvette discuss the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) issued by the National Intelligence Council, and dive into all things climate change, fossil fuels, and future green energy technology. How will climate change impact global migration patterns? Which nations have a hand in the oil reserves of the Arctic? And what is solar geoengineering?
