"The national security assessment on biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse was supposed to have been published in October 2025, but Downing Street sought to make it disappear. Apparently there were two reasons: because its conclusions were “too negative”, and because it would draw attention to the government’s failure to act.
When the report at last appeared, The Times reported that it had been significantly “abridged”."

"The absence of any formal briefing or ministerial comment is itself revealing – climate risks appear to be treated differently from other risks to national security. It’s hard to imagine a report warning of national security risks from AI [or] China getting the same treatment.
This episode is not even especially unusual, historically.
Climate deniers insist governments are exaggerating the threat. In reality, the evidence increasingly suggests the opposite."
