    Top 10 Posts for November 2016

    December 1, 2016 By Schuyler Null

    Climate change isn’t a political issue in many countries, but it is in the United States. If that trend continues much longer, American service members may find themselves at “the intersection of politics and events” as they confront the consequences of climate change head on in the form of increased instability and humanitarian disasters, says Edward J. Erickson in a special issue of the U.S. Marine Corps Press Journal.

    Coverage of the journal was our most read story last month on the eve of the U.S. presidential election (see also Wilson experts weighing in on what the world expects of President-elect Trump). Other new stories making the top 10 last month were a look at how conflict affects maternal health, an outlook on the Middle East’s environmental crisis from a local reporter, five focal points for U.S. global water strategy, and a Q&A with an environmental sociologist working on how climate change may affect education in heavily agricultural economies.
