The Secret Security Threat The Government Don’t Want Us To Know
About this episode
The episode discusses the government's suppression of a report identifying climate and nature collapse as a national security threat and its implications.
Why did the government suppress a report written by senior intelligence officials which named climate and nature collapse as a national security threat? How could ecosystem collapse lead to empty super market shelves, water scarcity and increased risk of conflict? And, ultimately, why has this not become a bigger conversation among politicians?
