Meanwhile Speaking of threat enhancers & multipliers
"...according to Frank Femia of the Center for Climate and Security, a Washington-based policy institute advised by senior retired military and national security leaders. He explained in a phone interview:
"It’s far too early, considering this is happening in real
time, to figure out what is motivating ISIS and its members. Certainly,
the natural resource stresses in the region make things worse. Terrorist
organizations can try to control those resources and gain significant
influence and power. You can’t say climate change is causing ISIS to do
what it’s doing, but it [climate change] certainly has a role to play in
the region."
