At Democratic Debate, Bernie Sanders Says Climate Change Helps Terrorism Spread

One day after the Islamic State group killed or injured about 500 people in a series of attacks in Paris, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., linked climate change to the spread of terrorist groups overseas. At the second Democratic presidential debate, held Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa, Sanders was asked whether he stood by his previous claims that climate change was the No. 1 threat to national security. He said he did.

"Climate change is directly related to the rise of global terrorism," Sanders said, adding that it would cause nations to start "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," ABC News reported. Sanders backed up his statement by mentioning what "the CIA says," a likely reference to a July 2015 report from the U.S. Department of Defense that found "global climate change will aggravate problems such as poverty, social tensions, environmental degradation, ineffectual leadership and weak political institutions that threaten stability in a number of countries," according to a news release.

Islam is caused by Global Warming?

Seriously, folks.....The entire Democrat Party needs to be politically destroyed from top to bottom!!!

[faithhopecharity]

Senility can be so very very difficult

Where exactly has the climate actually “changed”?

[American Faith Today]

Because Allahu Akbar translates to “For the love of God, may I please have a glass of water?”.

It's not change that is driving terrorism, it's lack of change.

In the countries where the terrorism is coming from the climate has not changed in the last 700 years.

Neither has the mindset of the people and it's this lack of change in the Jihadi mindset that is driving terrorism

“...adding that it would cause nations to start...”

In other words, the bad effects of global warming have not yet kicked in. Please explain, Mr. Sanders, the past 50 years of terrorism?

The Democrat party knows what the truth is. The truth is not the objective.

The truth is not relevant in their political party! Truth, facts are not the objective - not the goal. What is the objective?

Money, Control & power.

They use climate change to prey upon nice people who love the earth. Who does not love this globe hanging in space that we all live on? Really who does not? They seek to divide Americans & control people with more emotional feelings towards the earth.

Islam is the same thing. They know the truth that Islam is evil! That it is Islamic terrorism, but they want the power & control that political Islam has over people.

Their objective is money, power & control over people. It is communism.

We must be uncontrollable and snatch power & money from them!

I think he should listen to Bastardi’s (weather bell)comment about that topic from yesterday.

[Riley]

Instead of watching their debate, I decided to wait for the ‘Bad Lip Reading’ version. It will be just as ridiculous, but a lot funnier.

It has an inverse effect on pirates:
