A newly released UK Government military assessment agrees with scientists that environmental tipping points are the biggest cause of societal instability. Water shortage and famine leads to military adventurism and immigration. The World Economic Forum puts environmental concerns at the top of its list of 10-year risk factors. But politicians measure consequences by change in GDP which paradoxically increases after a disaster, due to recovery spending - so they miss the primary cause of problems. Perhaps that's why the report wasn't made public till a freedom of information request forced its release.
