Description

Clapper’s 2014 statements to the Senate on the ATA uses recycled phrases on climate change implications from previous assessments. This statement contains no dedicated section to climate change but rather focuses on Natural Resources (p. 9), specifically through the lenses of food, water, energy, and extreme weather events. (p. 11) Unlike previous reports, however, the extreme weather subsection makes explicit mention of the Arctic as a strategic issue as polar ice recedes. (p. 11)
