| Summary / Abstract (Note) | What has rendered realist and neo-realist paradigm of security premised on state and its corresponding institutions redundant is the climate change. The source of security threats no longer lies with the state. The debate over the direct connection between climate change and security harks back to the day security threats were outsourced to non-military and non-traditional elements. There are skeptics who maintain that climate factors will only marginally influence tomorrow’s security environment, if at all. They point to significant natural fluctuations in climate patterns and short-term cyclical phenomena like El Nino and the recently identified Pacific Decadal Oscillation, the causes of which are not fully understood and deciphered. In their opinion, even if global warming does take place, many of its effects may be localized, benign or favourable. |
