There is only one way to fix this problem and this is by sending plenty of money. Take it from industrious nations and people who work for a living and send it on to the ones who primarily specialize in reproduction and the problem is solved.

So, there were never floods or droughts before?
In the 1930s during the dust bowl, why didn’t the Okies marry off their young daughters? They could have done this also after the great Johnstown flood in 1889, no?
EXCEPT they weren’t Muslim savages.
Thanks for playing!

I bet all the removed comments under the article had the “I” word in them.

Wait a minute. When I was young and we had Global Cooling, we were told of a plan to set off H-bombs around the world at precise locations. This would tilt the Earth's axis to bring on Global Warming to save us.
That's the background; my point is that we were also told that once we had Global Warming from the H-Bomb Earth Tilt there would be more crops to feed the world. So now I find out they were lying about the Global Warming extra crops?

I don’t swear a lot, but this article made me say out loud:
“Are you f***ing kidding me?”
There’s fake news, and then there’s effing fake news.

Causes drought AND flood, amazing. Only causes bad effects. Never more rain or sun or longer growing season, but only too much of everything imaginable. Total bs.

“We do not have detailed figures, but I would say 30% to 40% of child marriages in Malawi are due to the floods and droughts caused by climate change,” he says. Uhhhhhhhh...okay. So, what are the other 60 to 70% caused by?

So, WAGs now count as scientific proof?

There’s a twist. US Cronies will show up in those nearly lawless states so they can get the money, too.
Look at how the Clintons robbed Haiti.

Climate change is GOD. It is all powerful, omnipresent, omnipotent. There are no aetheists in the flooded swamp.

I will agree that poverty does contribute to earlier ages of marriage even in the USA.
If you can’t afford college and you don’t qualify for student loans and you don’t have any job prospects then getting married seems a pretty decent way to get through life.

“As global warming exacerbates drought and floods, farmers’ incomes plunge”
ya just gotta love how the uber-leftist Manchester Guardian states as an absolute fact that the above conditions (assuming that they even exist) have been proven to be products of “climate change”

According to my calculations and the historical record, there is one thing that climate change cannot do. For some odd and mysterious reason, it cannot shrink the size of government.

I guess the only thing not blamed on or caused by Climate Change is my hangnail....
Maybe I should ask for Grant to study the affect of hangnails to climate change...😀
