A recent article in the Scientific American titled “Climate Change May Have Helped Spark Iran’s Protests” suggests climate – not Iran’s active export of terrorism and neglect of its civilian population – is responsible for the second consecutive week of protests in the Islamic Republic.

“The impacts of climate change are among the environmental challenges facing Iran that helped spark protests in dozens of cities across the Islamic republic,” the publication wrote.

At least 22 people have died during the protests, which began on December 28. One young man, 23-year-old Sina Ghanbari, reportedly died while in custody at Iran’s notorious Evin Prison.

Islamist Iranian clerics have made similar arguments of a correlation between Iran’s political climate and the earth’s. In 2016, one such cleric claimed that “immorality” among young Iranian women, stemming from dressing “improperly,” was resulting in climate change and causing Iran’s rivers and dams to run dry.

Short skirts cause rivers to dry up, something tells me that's not the only thing that's dried up in Iran.

I think they need to rename their magazine “PseudoScientific American. I don’t recall the word “may” being part of scientific jargon.

I loved this magazine when I was younger. Cancelled my subscription about ten years ago. You’ll find more science in Highlights than this agenda pushing leftist rag.

I used to read Scientific American when I was in high school in the early 70’s, especially when I was taking AP Chemistry. The Amateur Scientist at the back got my interest to try one of them.
Later they had articles done by the likes of Greenpeace.

It’s sad SA used to be respectable and serious source for all things Scientific.

[SpaceBar]

It is actually breathtaking to what extent ‘Scientific American’ whored itself out to the cause.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

[SkyDancer]

So now Iran is a wet and humid climate?

[RedMonqey]

“I used to read Scientific American when I was in high school in the early 70’s, especially when I was taking AP Chemistry”

That was before Algore invented the global warming scam and SA decided they wanted a piece of the Madoff like profits.

“It’s sad SA used to be respectable and serious source for all things Scientific.”

Any writing or speech that uses the term “ global warming” or “climate change” is by default a fraud...unless it is being ridiculed.

“Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?”

They can’t even control mud slides, forest fires, earthquakes etc. yet the deign to control the universe?

[abclily]

Exactly!
