This makes complete and logical sense.

No, it makes zero sense, unless he can show that (1) the drought he refers to was caused by climate change (earth to you and O'Malley, itr's been dry there for longer than we have been emitting fossil fuels), and (2) a meaningful number of ISIS jihadists were peace-loving farmers who would not have been radicalized if it wasn't for said drought. And how would O'Malley know that? Does ISIS put jihadist bio's on their website? Do they have trading cards that have that info on the back? "I've got the 2015 complete ISIS set from Topps, and all of them said that if it weren't for SUVs, ISIS would not exist".
What do you expect from a guy who feels compelled to apologize for saying something as offensive as "all lives matter".
