Sort of related: The military is working hard at figuring out the geopolitical implications of a world getting hotter. Namely... what will be the impacts of water shortages, massive storms and mass starvation.

I consider that paper a little on the Alarmist side, but the organization itself is a solid group of conservative non-greens. (Zbigniew Brzezinski... on board, aka the man who brought Russia to its knees.)
What's interesting in the geopolitical arena is that climate change will tear at the very heart of what it is to be a unified nation. We can see the effects of that now... oil companies lobbying in extreme destructive fashion. etc. (Hinting that Western Canada could secede from Canada.)
