'(Un)Scientific American’: Climate Change May Have Helped Spark Iran’s Protests

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.

Protesters have cited inflation, the regime’s egregious human rights record, and its decision to allocate valuable resources to exporting terrorism and fighting unnecessary wars in Syria, Iraq, and Libya, instead of focusing on their population at home as the reasons for their uprising.

Hey, Oldeconomybuyer, this thread needs your Goebbels photo.

Too bad it’s been cooling. We could use MORE uprising against the Iranian regime.

I suppose if the Hoover dam sprung a leak, some ass hat 🎩 would claim it was caused by global warming.

Climate change was responsible for the missed field goals in last weekend’s Wild Card NFL games, too!

The GLO-BULL warmists are delusional. EVERYTHING can be attributed to Global warming.

• Dog bites man? Global Warming!
• Sun rises in the morning? Global Warming!
• Grass is green? Global Warming!
• It's cold. Global Warming!
• Nothing changes? Global Warming!
• Hurricane season is less than normal? Global Warming!
• Hurricane season is worse than normal? Global Warming!
• Hurricane season is normal? Global Warming!

Amazing isn't it. It's like magic.

Three years ago, my girlfriend and I went to see the California Academy of Science in San Francisco. I had many wonderful memories of visits there from my childhood and taking my daughters there in their childhoods. I especially loved seeing the Morrison Planetarium.

We were sorely disappointed. It was now 100% wall-to-wall Global Warming! Even the Planetarium had been converted a theater to promote the dangers of Global Warming and how one could lower one's carbon footprint! Horrors!

I now refer to it as the California Academy of Not-So-Science.

[I want the USA back]

scientific American was once a good science mag. No longer. It’s barely better than Discover - written for the barely literate and the gullible.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Is there ANYTHING that can’t be blamed on climate change?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Which is exactly the kind of people public schools are producing.

[SkyDancer]

Right - hot and humid and lots and lots of rain.

Possibly time to consider a name change for this magazine. Rarely scientific, and quite frequently not American.

The impacts of climate change are among the environmental challenges facing Iran ???

WTF are they talking about? Every Shithole Country on Earth ran by Dictators,Tyrants,Islam,Socialism,Communism is like this, and has been throughout All of recorded History for the most part.

Whenever you have a Country that isn’t based on Freedom and Liberty for the common citizen, you have a Shithole.

They are Shitholes, and I defy Any TV Jester to go live in Haiti among the natives for 1 year, I will buy your plane ticket. Call me!
