Increasingly, defense specialists have been considering the international security implications of climate change; however, this immense literature is mainly speculative: it focuses less on the lessons of previous periods of international management of climate change than on the immediate fears that fuel the contemporary debate. We argue here not only that this securitization of climate change has weak empirical basis, but it can also mislead policymakers.
