Brazilian Climate Head Warns Climate Change Will Lead to Great Global Instability
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other climate news, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen met with
Brazil's Environment Minister Marina Silva in São Paulo Tuesday. Silva
warned that the climate emergency could lead to more global conflict.

Marina Silva: "We are living in a context of wars, with terrible losses
from a humanitarian point of view, from an ethical, political, social,
economic point of view. It is practically unspeakable, what is happening
in the world with the wars that are happening, and obviously that we
want peace. But in the context of climate change, we cannot forget, deny
the fact that we can have great instabilities if we do not solve the
problem of climate change."
