ASP in “New Argonne center brings together national security and climate change”

Members of the American Security Project were quoted by Luke Rague in an April 30 article in Medill, New Argonne center brings together national security and climate change, about the launch of a new Argonne Center for Climate Change and Security.

Rague quoted ASP Senior Fellow Andrew Holland saying “We don’t care about polar bears, we don’t care about tree frogs – we care about people,” and then going on to say “Climate change is a threat multiplier.” According to Rague, Argonne and the American Security Project have a shared vision of the future. Holland and Hummel said they are hoping their efforts will bring about change in the preparedness of the nation.

Rague quotes ASP CEO, BGen Stephen Cheney saying “Who was the head responder to [Typhoon Haiyan] in the Philippines? It was the United States.”
