The Age of Consequences (2016): This is a military perspective of how climate change is causing wars worldwide now

I've never seen a program on Climate change from this perspective. It is Generals and military men most retired now talking about how wars and conflicts worldwide are being caused by Climate change. One example, they gave was how the Taliban is fighting for farmers to have the right to grow Opium poppies because they are drought resistant (they use 1/5 the water of wheat for example) because Afghanistan is going through one of it's worst droughts ever so there isn't enough water to actually grow wheat in the first place there most places. So, opium poppies are mostly grown so the farmers don't just starve from not enough water to grow crops. This is part of the conflict American soldiers are dying because of right now in Afghanistan.
