Question 3 : All three articles together: Please still include your Most interesting Fact and Question for each article. Taken together, these three pieces are designed to show that climate change is not just an "environmental issue" but in fact it is a national security issue, a food and agricultural issue, and an issue of poverty/refugees/justice for people in other nations. What type of leadership is needed to deal with the issue of climate change? Clearly, many leaders are thus far failing to compel people to change. Do you think that leaders can make a difference in individual behavior choices or in policy? Do some research and find a current leader dealing with climate change (don't just choose Al Gore) and tell us about this leader/group and what they are trying to do regarding leadership on climate change.
