Climate change root cause of Syrian war: Britain's Prince Charles
Reuters ^ | 11/23/2015 | Michael Holden

Posted on 11/23/2015 2:23:58 AM PST by ScottWalkerForPresident2016

Britain's Prince Charles has pointed to the world's failure to tackle climate change as a root cause of the civil war in Syria, terrorism and the consequent refugee crisis engulfing Europe.

The heir to the British throne is due to give a keynote speech at the opening of a global climate summit in Paris next week where 118 leaders will gather to try to nail down a deal to limit rising greenhouse gas emissions.

"Some of us were saying 20 something years ago that if we didn't tackle these issues, you would see ever greater conflict over scarce resources and ever greater difficulties over drought, and the accumulating effect of climate change which means that people have to move," he said.

"And in fact there's very good evidence indeed that one of the major reasons for this horror in Syria, funnily enough, was a drought that lasted for about five or six years, which meant that huge numbers of people in the end had to leave the land but increasingly they came into the cities."

It’s not simply “liberal idiocy” or “inbreeding.”

Has everyone failed to notice this is the same litany we hear from the American (ene)Media, The Obama Administration, various socialists such as Sanders, Moore, etc..., and the UN?

This is something bigger than just moronic drivel. This is orchestrated to seize authority over our lives.

My question is, what the Hell will we do about it?

I remember how the war started. There were violent protests in Syria that were put down by the government, and then military units started defecting and attacking.

Something tells me that didn’t all happen because they wanted increased solar panel subsidies.

Climate change is also the main reason the dork has not ascended the throne that he has been waiting for since 1947...

From the article:

'And in fact there's very good evidence indeed ...'

Out West we call those type of statements 'Weasel Words'. They characterize everything that comes out of the mouths of idiots like Prince Charles when they talk about 'Climate Change'. Deep down inside they know the facts don't support the crap they spew out so they fudge their statements in a way that will allow them to backtrack in the future when the truth comes out. They think they sound authoritative. To the informed they simply sound stupid which in fact they are.

There are other terms, often abbreviated, that are better suited but we are a polite bunch.

Jane Fonda sounds climate change alarm in Toronto
The Star ^ | July 4, 2015 | Christopher Reynolds

"The climate change problem is the issue of our civilization. It will affect everything about our lives if we don't do something about it," she [Jane Fonda] says.
___________________________________________________

Here's Hanoi Jane remarking on the agenda that Obama refers to as (quote)
"The fundamental transformation of the United States of America"...

November 22, 1970 -- During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience:

"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."
http://www.wintersoldier.com/index.php?topic=Timeline
______________________________________________

Fonda made the following statement at the University of Texas:
"We've got to establish a Socialist economic structure that will limit private profit-oriented businesses. Whether the transition is peaceful depends on the way our present governmental leaders react. We must commit our lives to this transition ...... We should be very proud of our new breed of soldier. It's not organized but it's mutiny, and they have every right." --Karen Elliott Dallas Morning News December 11, 1971

From 1972: "I am not a do-gooder, I am a revolutionary. A revolutionary woman."

*******************************************************************

No great surprise here...

From RushLimbaugh.com:
Hanoi Jane Endorses Obama
April 3, 2008

REPORTER 1: Jane, who are you voting for?

REPORTER 2: Who gets your vote?

FONDA: Obama.

REPORTER 2: Oh, my God. Heaven help us all.

RUSH: The reporter for TMZ said, "Oh, God. Heaven help us all." Obviously the reporter is an Obama supporter.

"The environment is suffering damage that could be irreversible - global warming, the greenhouse effect, the melting of the polar ice caps, the rising sea level, hurricanes - with terrible social occurrences that will shake life on this planet."

"I believe this idea has a strong connection with reality. I don't think we have much time. Fidel Castro said in one of his speeches I read not so long ago, 'tomorrow could be too late, let's do now what we need to do'."

"I believe it is time that we take up with courage and clarity a political, social, collective and ideological offensive across the world - a real offensive that permits us to move progressively, over the next years, the next decades, leaving behind the perverse, destructive, destroyer, capitalist model and go forward in constructing the socialist model to avoid barbarism and beyond that the annihilation of life on this planet."

Bin Laden blasts US for climate change

CAIRO - Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has called for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming, according to a new audiotape released Friday.

In the tape, broadcast in part on Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden warned of the dangers of climate change and says that the way to stop it is to bring "the wheels of the American economy" to a halt.

"Charles Manson, the notorious cult leader, has broken a 20-year silence in an interview from his prison cell to warn the world of an impending apocalypse due to global warming.

[snip]

"Everyone's God and if we don't wake up to that there's going to be no weather because our polar caps are melting because we're doing bad things to the atmosphere," he said.

"The automobiles and fossil fuels are destroying the atmosphere and we won't have air to breathe".

I know! “Peace in our time” was doomed because of climate change in the 1930’s. It rained blood for many years, like now.

Nothing can be done. There are too many leftists and too many ‘normal’ people unwilling to sacrifice anything at all to even speak out or vote them out much less openly rebel.

So we simply have to experience nature taking it’s course as it always does, wipe out most of the planet and begin anew on the other side.
