Prince Charles blames the Syrian War on Climate Change. He has a Point [TIC]

Britain's Prince Charles has blamed climate change in part for the Syrian war and warned that global warming could exacerbate similar conflicts worldwide.

Charles's comments — in an interview broadcast Monday — came exactly one week before the start of a United Nations climate change conference in Paris, where he plans to deliver a keynote address. Unless world leaders take action to slow the impact of climate change, "it’s going to get so much worse," Charles warned in the interview with Sky News, which was recorded before the Nov. 13 terrorist attacks in Paris.

"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."

He has the “dork” gene. He’s so pathetic I feel sorry for him.

None of these conflicts are driven by a lack of resources.

They’re drive by a lack of higher level human thought.

This article is a prime example.

I did enjoy Craig Ferguson’s show until he added the gay robot sidekick.

That is an excellent question. I have another one. In the alleged minds of people like prince chuckles the clown; is there anything that isn’t cause by climate change?

What a doofus ninny. He would do better confining himself to his tampon centered gynecological universe than the real world.

Yeah he has a point, right on the top of his head, when did they change the name of the koran to climate change?

"Prince Charles blames the Syrian War on Climate Change. He has a Point "

The point is that too much time, resources and government attention has been focused on cyclic climate variations and not enough on solving international economic problems.

Is there any point?.

The Brits here, we have tried to defend or post intelligently on Charles, one member is even a personal friend (I have met him, but no friend), but folk here just don’t want to listen for the most part.

We still see the nonsense that he’s Muslim (complete with photos ‘proving’ he is, wearing Arab/Muslim garb).

And no, I don’t know where you’ve heard the alzheimers story. Not true. The Royals mentally are sharp as tacks well into old age.

It is pretty easy to get triggered into stupidity when you are living in climate above 100 f, with very little water. Typical summer temperatures in Baghdad are 114 f. Most Islamic terrorists come from lands that are very hot, very dry, and often very crowded. Syria had had a number of years of severe drought, many rural people had moved to the city, and Assad did nothing to aid his people or seek international help. The CIA did an extensive report on the dangers of climate change to the human future—wars, mass migrations, etc.

gleeaikin,

Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.

Europe is being invaded by bloodthirsty savages, and 0bama is doing his best to bring them here. Would you suggest importing malaria infected mosquitoes into Florida because they lost their habitat in Iraq?
