Review of Global Warring on the Natural Security blog of the Center for a New American Security
Daniel Saraceno, at the Center for a New American Security's blog, has reviewed Global Warring, saying, in part:
What makes this book unique and such a solid reading of natural security-related issues is the security and political scope Paskal uses to explore the consequences of a changing climate.

Such concerns have already been voiced by Canada, and tensions have increased somewhat with America’s claim that the passage is an international waterway, creating a small political schism between us and our North American neighbor.
