Canada’s new fighter jets could be deployed in Arctic resource war:
Militarized responses to climate change
Despite the worsening climate crisis, the Trudeau government has
increased annual fossil fuel subsidies by 40 per cent from 2015 to $16.8 billion in 2019.
Most recently, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also affirmed at the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit in Brussels last month
his interest in Canada hosting a NATO “centre of excellence” on climate
and security. A statement from the Prime Minister’s Office noted:
“It would provide allies with a central location to pool their
knowledge and develop effective preparedness and responses to the
security impacts of climate change.”
This suggests a willingness to both deepen the climate crisis and prepare militarily for the resulting impacts.
