Does climate change threaten world peace? | TG Daily: "'Climate change not only exacerbates threats to international peace and security; it is a threat to international peace and security.'

However, despite Moon's passionate speech, the 15-member Security Council failed to agree on whether climate change should be considered a direct threat to international peace and security.

Instead, the Council made do with a presidential statement expressing concern over 'possible adverse effects of climate change,' which could, in the long run, 'aggravate certain existing threats to international peace and security.'

Unsurprisingly, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice slammed the UNSC for its failure to reach a consensus on the issue, despite 'manifest evidence' that climate change poses a clear and present danger to world peace.



'This is more than disappointing. It's pathetic, it's short-sighted and frankly it's a dereliction of duty,' she added."
