  Climate change poses grave threat to security, says UK envoy
  
  Rear Admiral Neil Morisetti, special representative to foreign secretary, says governments can't
  
  afford to wait for 100% certainty
  
  Climate change poses as grave a threat to the UK's security and economic resilience as terrorism
  
  and cyber-attacks, according to a senior military commander who was appointed as William
  
  Hague's climate envoy this year.
  
  In his first interview since taking up the post, Rear Admiral Neil Morisetti said climate change
  
  was "one of the greatest risks we face in the 21st century", particularly because it presented
  
  a global threat. "By virtue of our interdependencies around the world, it will affect all of us," he said.
  
  He argued that climate change was a potent threat multiplier at choke points in the global trade
  
  network, such as the Straits of Hormuz, through which much of the world's traded oil and gas is shipped.
