Melting ice caps will enable China’s military forces to “reach into the Atlantic”, the Chief of the Defence Staff has warned.

At an address on Wednesday, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin urged people to consider what effect climate change would have on the security of the nation.

In his annual Royal United Services Institute address, Sir Tony said: “We also need to consider the melting of the ice caps in the coming decades, which will: unleash a difficult new competition for minerals and resources; halve the time it takes for shipping to travel between Asia and Europe; and surely China’s military forces will start to reach into the Atlantic?”

The High North becoming more open and accessible due to melting ice caps has been worrying military figures for some time.

He's worried about sea level rise, so it's surprising the Chinese aren't worried about their man-made islands in the South China Sea being washed away!

Who says the Chi-coms aren't already in the Atlantic?

The Chi-coms have been building infrastructure on Caribbean islands like Dominica and Barbados.  They must want something in return, maybe a secret submarine base in America's back yard?

We need a Climate Lockdown Now to stop this threat.  It is our only hope.
