MINISTERS blocked the publication of an intelligence report warning that climate change could cause “global competition for food” by the 2030s and trigger nuclear war in Asia.

The study, reportedly held back by Number 10 last autumn for being too negative, also highlights the potential for a massive increase in climate refugees.

A freedom of information request forced the release of the report put together in part by the joint intelligence committee, the body overseeing MI5 and MI6.

But the government only published an abridged version of the study, describing a “realistic possibility” that the decline of forests and glacier-fed rivers would lead to “global competition for food” beginning in the 2030s.

The unabridged version of the study goes further, according to The Times.

It describes a “reasonable worst-case scenario” in which several ecosystems could pass a tipping point as soon as 2030 after which it would be impossible to stop environmental degradation. This includes forests in Canada and Russia, as well as glaciers in the Himalayas that feed rivers on which two billion people depend.

Melting glaciers in the Asian mountain range would “almost certainly escalate tensions” between China, India and Pakistan, intelligence chiefs warned, which could potentially lead to nuclear conflict.

Britain would struggle to feed itself unless it made big investments into supply chains, the report said.

Too hot to handle: climate crisis report so secret Albanese government won’t even reveal date it was completed

Anthony Albanese continues to reject calls to make even a sanitised version of the assessment public

The Australian government is refusing to release its secret report on how the climate crisis will fuel national security threats and is also refusing to say when it was completed.

The government insists the date, too, is classified. The approach has sparked claims of a “cult of secrecy in Canberra”.

Anthony Albanese ordered the Office of National Intelligence (ONI) last year to investigate national security threats posed by global heating, in line with an election promise.

When it notified the United Nations of Australia’s stronger 2030 emissions reduction target, the government trumpeted its commitment to “an urgent climate risk assessment of the implications of climate change for national security”.

So far, however, the government has rebuffed calls to release the assessment – or even a sanitised public version, as it did with the defence strategic review.

In a new response to Senate questions on notice, the prime minister confirmed the ONI’s climate assessment was finalised “within the last 12 months”. But Albanese added: “The specific timing of the assessment board is classified.”

Five other questions from the Greens’ defence spokesperson, David Shoebridge, were answered with an identical response: “The content and judgments of the assessment are classified.”
