Jared P. Scott’s “The Age of Consequences” examines the impacts of climate change on increased resource scarcity, migration and conflict through the lens of national security and global stability. Described as “The Hurt Locker” meets “An Inconvenient Truth,” the film employs admirals, generals and veterans to take us beyond the headlines of some of the most important events of the last few years — the conflict in Syria, the social unrest of the Arab Spring, the rise of radicalized groups like Isis and more — and how climate change stressors interact with them. Watch an exclusive trailer for the film below.

That the discussion around climate change is framed as a "debate" in many quarters, enables the perception that there isn't already reams of scientific data pointing to an alarming increase in the temperature of the globe. It creates an aura of doubt that prevents real change in the energy sector and how we live our daily lives that could prevent catastrophic consequences down the road. And putting a spotlight on just how reckless enabling the small voice of dissenters of climate change can be is explored in the upcoming documentary "The Age Of Consequences," and today we have the exclusive teaser trailer. Directed by Jared P. Scott ("Requiem for the American Dream"), the film contextualizes the alarming consequences of societal inaction on climate change, that will include conflict, resource scarcity, mass migration and border tensions that will impact global stability and national security. With analysis from a variety of experts and Pentagon.
