Climate change, disproportionately caused by carbon emissions from America, seems to be behind a severe drought that has led crops to wilt across seven countries in southern Africa.

Whoa, Trump isn't even President yet and he's already causing drought in seven African countries......It's SCIENCE!

Looking forward to many more of these shrieking liberal OP-EDS over the next 4-8 years.

Does the NYT publish anything but Fake News after Nov 9?

No one denies climate change. The climate changes all the time.
People deny that man is the direct primary cause and that taxing man will prevent or make climate change better. You can not predict next weeks weather accurately so don’t tell us you can predict the weather 100 years from now!

Thanks for reminding me to buy some more Eli Lilly stock. Prozac and Seroquel sales for nut cases such as Khristoph are surely off the charts.

We know this because droughts have never happened before./s

Climate change, disproportionately caused by carbon emissions from America

Bullshit.

More idiotic fake news from a fake news website.

[LeonardFMason]

“Climate change, disproportionately caused by carbon emissions from America, SEEMS to be behind a severe drought that has led crops to wilt across seven countries in southern Africa.”

SEEMS to be - UTTER BULLSHIT passing for scientific finding

When I want to be sure the news is fake, I always reach for the Kristoff.

Hey Nicholas Kristof:

[CIB-173RDABN]

Climate change and man made climate change are not the same thing.

Very few would claim that the Earth’s climate does not change.

The debate is does the action of MAN have any effect.

Well, I think on a small regional area, things humans do could effect the climate of that area. However, can the action of humans change earth’s climate? I doubt it.

In the early 1800s a volcano in the Pacific erupted putting enough pollution in the air to actually change the earths climate for a year but it was not permanent.

The whole man made climate change is nothing more than a way for the left to push their socialist views on to the world.

It is fake science.

So where is Madagascadaddy? Why ain't he paying some bills?

Or was that kid somehow the result of Divine intervention?

America causes carbon emission disproportionately? Probably so--we are less than 5% of the world's population and may produce more than 5% of the carbon emissions. But it's easier for the ineffable Kristof to blame the US than to blame countries more flagrantly causing pollution now, like China.

Apparently malnutrition was never a problem in Africa before the invention of the automobile.

[JimRed]

Yeah, right...there were never any severe droughts until capitalism...

Stop! You guys are killin' me.

Isn't Nicholas Kristof that guy that Jane Curtain's character on Weekend Update was based on, the one that Dan Aykroyd would answer by saying "Jane, you ignorant slut."

The government of Madagascar has more than do with this child and mother’s suffering than “climate change”, but of course you can’t expect an idiot reporter from the Slimes to tell you that. All government entities are more compassionate than the three evils in this world according to liberals: Trump, Russians, and climate change.

[GreyFriar]

Someone ought to tell them that the big polluters are Communist China and India.
