Jarrod Hayes, assistant professor in The Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, was part of a dialogue with Retired Navy Rear Admiral David Titley, founding director of the Center for Solutions to Weather and Climate Risk at Penn State, to discuss climate change as a threat to national security on WABE’s “Closer Look.”

Hayes argued that ““The challenge with climate change is it’s very difficult to identify a specific event that you can sort of unambiguously trace to the dynamic of changing atmospheric chemistry and oceanic chemistry and so this is part of the problem of communicating climate change to the American public.”
