He was prolly black & gay as well.
They know nothing about before they wake up each day and decide who to piss off today.
It’s not even worth reading anymore. Total garbage heap.
Another reason why I am glad that I allowed my subscription to lapse over 25 years ago.
Climate Change....what DOESN’T it cause?
Peace and happiness?
All things bright and beautiful?
No.....
Islam, and the perversion of blaming the west for all evils is what led to the rise. And of course, a lack of faith in God Almighty and in His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
That explains why hordes of dirty subhuman savages read their book of hate and rush out to kill humans, shouting “allahu akbar.” Not their inner anger and hatred for all that is good in the world.
Haha...
I still have my 1980’s issue “The Coming Global Ice Age.”
It made its way to school with each of my kids during the past decade.
“Climate Change....what DOESN’T it cause?”
“Western Civilization?
Peace and happiness?
All things bright and beautiful?”
Okay, you got me you wit you. :-)
I should have said what BAD thing doesn’t it cause.
Yes, many of the older Nat Geos had some great articles and photos. But of course there was the Tasaday hoax and nowadays they’ve devoted an entire issue to Global Warming.
If man caused global warming is the great threat we face then if one carefully examines their solutions one will see that their policies will only make matters worse. Their inefficient energy programs will drive more people to burn wood.
I’ve had 1957 to 1996 professionally bound copies of Nat Geo with an index for sale for $12 for the entire set. Of course it weighs a ton and is many feet of shelf space. Nobody wants it.
So much insanity, so little time...
This kind of garbage is why I stopped getting their once fine magazine after almost 40 years subscription.

Same here! Also, I don’t think this writer even knows what a backhoe is.
From the article: “farmhands swapping backhoes for assault rifles”
I’m curious, your run of the mill farmer, where does he use the backhoe? To till the soil, harvest the crop, take the crop to market, or just what? A backhoe is not a typical farm implement, for a construction company yes, farm no.
Just shows the lefties writing this crap are technologically stupid in all arenas.
Sahara Desert Greening Due to Climate Change?

Africa’s desert to become lush green tropics as monsoons MOVE to Sahara, scientists say
ONE of Africa’s driest regions could become very wet and green by a change in the monsoon circulation.

Some scientist or scientist-wannabe made the claim that the rise of the Himalayas changed wind flows and turned once lush north Africa into a desert.
So all we gotta do is nuke Mt Everest and its neighbors into dust and shovel them out of the way.

National Gigolographic is a joke after the feathered dino scam.

Umm...it’s a desert. Average rainfall for most of Iraq is 4-7” per year and has been since accurate records have been kept.
Total B.S. Correlation (of some events) does not equal causation.
Two primary causes and enablers of the building of ISIS:
The founders of ISIS (people who had created an offshoot of Al Queda as far back as 2003) were, in terms of effectiveness, floundering in Iraq by 2007-8. Along with other terrorist groups and sectarian militia the security situation had finally made most terrorist groups in Iraq into minor and occasional nuisances, but not major fighting forces.
Then two things happened in Iraq and one thing happened in Syria, together which gave ISIS its opportunities for growth.
First Maliki and Obama did not make a SOFA agreement under which Iraqi security would continue to have robust American assistance and involvement (which was important to Sunni locals outside Baghdad who had worked with us). With the U.S. no longer holding many cards over Maliki he began governing more as a Shia than an Iraqi, and started treating his primarily Sunni political opponents often as much dictator-like as had Saddam. Many Sunnis no longer thought they had a government in Baghdad that was impartial, instead thinking that government was often working against them.
ISIS recruiting sped up.
Then with the regime change agenda was running full bore next door in Syria, ISIS had a theater of military conflict it could easily take sides in, join, build recruitment from, get weapons and other military goods from, and give its forces combat experience big time. When that had paid off long enough, ISIS was ready to reenter Iraq as a major fighting force against an Iraqi military under Maliki that had lost much of its professionalism.
Those things, not “climate change” gave ISIS it’s opportunities in Iraq.
Note to NatGeo: You have become FAR, FAR too political.
NG used to put beautiful maps in so many issues long ago. They were great!!
