When conflict meets climate change, in Gaza and beyond
France24 ^ | October 24, 2023 | By: Lara BULLENS

People living on the front lines of conflict often find themselves on the front lines of the climate crisis as well. Many of the countries most vulnerable to climate change – including Sudan, Afghanistan and Yemen – are also experiencing instability that leaves them ill-equipped to adapt to its challenges. And some are warning that the Gaza Strip will soon also be tied up in a Gordian knot where the climate crisis meets armed conflict.

While there is not a direct correlation between climate change and conflict, countries at war are less able to cope with the effects of climate change because their ability to adapt is undermined by internal divisions or ongoing violence.

Climate change can also inflame existing tensions over access to diminishing necessities.

“One exacerbates the other,” says Yvonne Su, an expert in international development and an assistant professor at York University. “If a place is climate vulnerable, people could be fighting over resources.”

Now that violence has erupted in the Gaza Strip once again, experts say its population is more vulnerable than ever.

Climate change and conflict can both trigger large-scale displacement, which also places a strain on resources and can exacerbate existing tensions.

According to the ICRC, there is also a gap in funding for climate action between stable and fragile countries to take into account. Despite being among the most vulnerable to climate change, many countries are financially neglected.

Oh, FFS. The climate change needed in Gaza is a split-second increase of a few million degrees.

Most people would rather have their heads cut off than live in a world 1.5 degrees warmer than 200 years ago.

It's only 8:03 AM here in the West and I've reached Peak Stupidity for today. It's all downhill from here. That might even be Peak Stupidity for all of October. I sure hope I can recover the brain cells lost reading that excerpt.

Toss this on the climageddonists:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

Climate change triggers Jew-hatred?

How do they explain the past 2,400 years of Jew-hatred?

Wow. Climate Change is central to everything.

And on a related note, I cannot find my car keys. I’m sure that’s related to Climate Change. I think I’ll apply for a federal grant to study this in more detail.

Just when you think we’ve reached maximum “stupid”, something like this comes along to prove you wrong.

“”Climate change can also inflame existing tensions over access to diminishing necessities.””

Israel was delivering massive amounts of ‘necessities’ to Gaza on a daily basis. Israel gave the Islamofascistnazis thousands of greenhouses to grow food. The Islamofascistnazis tore it all up. It is no surprise that the democRATS support the Islamofascistnazis. They are both consumed with hate.
