<div>Consider this report from India, which mentions developing military capabilities for "outright military conflict" resulting from the impacts of climate change, of which one of the major changes will be the melting of the Tibetan plateau glaciers, reducing the amount of water available feeding major rivers in Asia:</div>

<div>I quote:</div>
<div> </div>
<div> "Deterring Water Wars. India must consider reviewing its strategic doctrines to deter 'water wars.' India's current "no first use" nuclear doctrine threatens punitive retaliation upon a nuclear attack on Indian territory or on its forces. While bringing water wars directly inside the nuclear red line might be disproportionately escalatory, a commitment to the use of force in the event of unilateral diversion of water resources by the upper riparian is likely to have a deterrent effect."</div>

<div><br>By 2030, according to a report issued on Tuesday by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), 3.9 billion people, or nearly half of the world's population, could be living in severe water stress -- a tally that does not include the impacts of climate change.<br>
