A professor is blaming climate change and overpopulation for the creation of the terrorist group ISIS.
Charles Strozier, Professor of History and the founding Director of the John Jay College Center on Terrorism and Kelly Berkell, research assistant at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, wrote a blog piece in the Huffington Post called “ How Climate Change Helped ISIS,” where they argue that a four-year drought in Syria, from 2006 through 2010, “devastated the livelihoods of 800,000 farmers and herders; and knocked two to three million people into extreme poverty.”
"If more Americans knew how glacial melt contributes to catastrophic weather in Afghanistan—potentially strengthening the Taliban and imperiling Afghan girls who want to attend school—would we drive more hybrids and use millions fewer plastic bags? How would elections and legislation be influenced?" Tweet This
“As the Obama administration undertakes a highly public, multilateral campaign to degrade and destroy the militant jihadists known as ISIS, ISIL and the Islamic State,” the two write, “many in the West remain unaware that climate played a significant role in the rise of Syria's extremists.”
“Many became climate refugees,” Strozier and Berkell write.
The pair offer a call to action for Americans to consider the link between melting glaciers and a stronger Taliban.
“If more Americans knew how glacial melt contributes to catastrophic weather in Afghanistan—potentially strengthening the Taliban and imperiling Afghan girls who want to attend school—would we drive more hybrids and use millions fewer plastic bags? How would elections and legislation be influenced?” they write.
“While ISIS threatens brutal violence against all who dissent from its harsh ideology, climate change menaces communities (less maliciously) with increasingly extreme weather.”
Neither Strozier or Berkell are climate scientists according to an article in Climate Depot. Strozier is a practicing psychoanalyst in New York City and Berkell has a history of securities and corporate litigation.
What an idiot.
Everyone knows its bush’s fault.
Man, if only we knew this crap in 1941. We could have stopped Hitler & Hirohito by making electric cars instead of B-17s.
WOW , if we could cure Global Warming ,the World would be a Paradise(falls out of chair laughing)
The stupid is strong with that one.
A shrink and a lawyer have come up with this tripe...and someone actually printed it!
But Bush was also caused by climate change, you know, big oil, and all that.
Face Palm!^3
I’m actually a “climate refugee” right now, as I wait for my A/C to be fixed in South Florida. Already paid $400 for refrigerant (which leaked out in a day) due to ozone layer worshiping fools like this.
Oh great globull warming, is there nothing you cannot do?
/ lol.
“That does it. I’m going out to buy a Prius right now to stop the ISIS.”
Good for you! I can’t afford a Prius right now, but I could help with buying fewer plastic bags and just dump my trash in the road.
If enough Americans would be willing to do whatever they’re able, I’m sure we could make a sizable dent in the amount of glacier melting and defeat the Taliban in due time.
I have yet to find anyone who can even define the term ‘climate change” in serious terms.
And no, Hurricane Sandy was not an ‘extreme’ weather event.
Florida is a safe haven for climate refugees from Michigan......
Projection from a terrorist who has probably funding in favor of ISIS operatives.
Professor blames climate change for bunions.
Professor blames climate change for missing bus.
Professor blames climate change for decline in quality of rock ‘n’ roll since the 70’s.
Professor blames climate change for wife’s seeming disinterest in sex.
Professor blames climate change for making his suits baggy and ill-fitting.
Professor blames climate change for teenage daughter clogging toilet by flushing unsuitable items down it.
Professor blames climate change for embarrassing rectal itching.
Professor blames climate change for crabgrass.
Ad infinitum ...
How do these idiots first gain their position, and secondly maintain it?
Complete FOOLS!
