OTTAWA — Canada's spy service warns that climate change poses a profound, ongoing threat to national security and prosperity, including the possible loss of parts of British Columbia and the Atlantic provinces to rising sea levels.
The spy service says its preliminary examination determines that climate change"presents a complex, long-term threat to Canada's safety, security and prosperity outcomes." The CSIS brief is a more sophisticated framing of climate change as a security issue"than we see in most other federal government policies and documents," said Will Greaves, a political scientist at the University of Victoria.The brief says the Arctic's receding ice coverage will allow for routine navigation of the Northwest Passage and extraction of oil and mineral deposits in the region might become more economically viable.
Anticipating such problems by making bridges and other infrastructure more robust is preferable to responding after a catastrophic event, Dalby said in an interview. Human migration might grow to unprecedented volume due to newly uninhabitable territory, extreme weather events, drought and food shortages, and human conflict zones, CSIS says.
Agreed and we have unfortunately a federal government who is part of the danger to Canada with its left wing climate extremism who welcomes foreign interference that supports their far left ideology. liberal_party is threat to Canada’s national security & sovereignty.
Nova Scotia will become an island, physically disconnected from North America if warnings like this from CSIS et al are not acted upon immediately. So I predict that NS will indeed become an island within 20 yrs. b/c when has that ever happened?
In so many ways this threat will present itself. Given the increasing unabated global warming and Canada's social democracy, Canada is likely to become THE most desirable place in the world for humans to live b/c of adequate water, livable temps and lots of empty space.
Yes... not the Chinese sending spy balloons or interfering in our elections
Back to licking Justin’s boots I see. csiscanada
Why TF is CSIS doing reports on climate change? Meanwhile, Chinese police stations etc etc. Like come on.
Lol
So sick of this crap
So we get warnings about this crap but not election interference by foreign state actors, or their complicit domestic networks? cdnpoli
Your climate cult will create the next dark age.
Climate change chose Justin Trudeau to be our prime minister
The real threat to Canadian security will be our foolish politicians kowtowing to the false climate science currently soup du jour in the western world. The economics of this false doctrine will destroy western economies
Oh shut up!
Wait a second here … are we to believe this or the leaks because a certain someone said a few days ago CSIS was no the go to place because of some things in the past … hmmm
A BS story!
And I'm sure they have numerous agents gathering HumInt to track the Climate Threat to our National Security. 🤦 Was this crap written by telfordk herself?
Stick to your knitting spy agency!
Only threat is extreme cultists jamming doomsday down folks throat and prosperity is taken away with the guise of carbon tax stealing hard earned Canadian dollars from starving families . Pound sand . You couldn't stop China interfering and you want us to listen to this.
Without saying so, the threat from the US will be extreme.
