Former Sen. John Warner is teaming up with the Pew Environmental Group on a new project that will focus on links between global warming, energy policy and national security, the group announced Tuesday.
The group is the conservation arm of The Pew Charitable Trusts, dedicated to analytical approaches to public policy. Its Project on National Security, Energy and Climate will bring together scientists and military policy experts to look for new ways to combat climate change, promote energy independence, and preserve resources.
"Leading military and security experts agree that if left unchecked, global warming could increase instability and lead to conflict in already fragile regions of the world," Warner said in a statement. "We ignore these facts at the peril of our national security and at great risk to those in uniform who serve this nation."
