OTTAWA — Canada's spy service warns that climate change poses a profound, ongoing threat to national security and prosperity, including the possible loss of parts of British Columbia and the Atlantic provinces to rising sea levels.
The spy service says its preliminary examination determines that climate change"presents a complex, long-term threat to Canada's safety, security and prosperity outcomes." The CSIS brief is a more sophisticated framing of climate change as a security issue"than we see in most other federal government policies and documents," said Will Greaves, a political scientist at the University of Victoria.The brief says the Arctic's receding ice coverage will allow for routine navigation of the Northwest Passage and extraction of oil and mineral deposits in the region might become more economically viable.
Anticipating such problems by making bridges and other infrastructure more robust is preferable to responding after a catastrophic event, Dalby said in an interview. Human migration might grow to unprecedented volume due to newly uninhabitable territory, extreme weather events, drought and food shortages, and human conflict zones, CSIS says.
