The heat and the fury

In this text, British-American environmental journalist, Peter Schwartzstein, takes the reader on an on-the-ground exploration of climate change’s contribution to global conflict. From the ravaged villages of Iraq, where ISIS has used drought as a recruiting tool and weapon of terror, to the pirate-ridden waters of Bangladesh – and drawing on more than a decade of reporting from dozens of countries – Schwartzstein writes about the unexpected ways in which climate change is feeding global unrest and conflict.
