“In fact, climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism,” Bernie Sanders said during Saturday’s debate.
“And if we do not get our act together and listen to what the scientists say you’re going to see countries all over the world — this is what the CIA says — they’re going to be struggling over limited amounts of water, limited amounts of land to grow their crops. And you’re going to see all kinds of international conflict.”
Since the overwhelming majority of pundits and policymakers don’t understand the
existential threat(fifth dimension thinking) climate change poses, Sanders remarks were criticized,
much as fellow presidential candidate Martin O’Malley’s were back in July. Yet for over three years, leading security and climate experts — and Syrians themselves — have made the connection between climate change and the Syrian civil war.
so some Syrians blame the Syrian civil war on climate change...that's a good one...I think the American Civil War had a lot to do with climate change too...I think there was a peer reviewed paper drafted by experts in the field somewhere
Indeed, when a major peer-reviewed study came out on in March making this very case, Retired Navy Rear Admiral David Titley said it identifies “a pretty convincing climate fingerprint” for the Syrian drought.
Titley, a meteorologist who led the U.S. Navy’s Task Force on Climate Change when he was at the Pentagon, also said, “you can draw a very credible climate connection to this disaster we call ISIS right now.”
great...another nut...."climate fingerprint"...that's precious
