Climate Change a ‘Contributing Factor’ in Syrian Conflict

Moist air comes flowing off the Mediterranean into Syria each winter, unleashing rains that transform the dull brown countryside into myriad hues of green. But in 2005, the rains never fully materialized, the first of five consecutive failed rainy seasons that sparked the worst drought in Syria’s history and directly preceded the country’s descent into civil war. A groundbreaking study published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National...

I don't even know what to respond to on his one....Climate Change causes mass relocation/migration, not the rise of end-of-days-caliphate-wannabe-apocalyptic-death-cults

Of course it did. But, don't worry, we typically go through 4 different climates changes in a year, so I figure this ISIS thing only has about a couple of weeks left in operation until the next climate change.

Yes, I believe exactly what is happening here, let me explain, if you all may.

Since the earth is warming, and this people who are lazy good for nothing bastards and can not afford means to keep themselves warm during the days and nights and have to resort in raping goats, animals, children, stay away from showers to keep warm as well as not able to feel like men who take care of their families, they suddenly find themselves freed from the need of capitalism, and since they don't owe much except a few dirty smelly rags, are suddenly free and figure the best way to keep their idiosyncrasy is to get together in big numbers, steal, pillage and consider enemies anyone who is not animal like them.

They accomplish this like neanderthals they are. (still no showers).

But that is just my theory, relatively.

We destabilized Syria and armed insurgents (not ISIS). All the ME countries who have insurgencies are poor.

While I agree that it's a huge problem, I think we're pinning the tail on the wrong donkey with this one...
