KABUL — When Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers headed to the country’s first “international climate change conference” earlier this year in the eastern city of Jalalabad, few foreign guests turned up.
Afghanistan remains a global pariah in large part because of the Taliban restrictions on female education, and that isolation has deprived the country of foreign funding for urgently needed measures to adapt to climate change.
So, for now, the Afghan government is largely confronting the impacts of global warming on its own and putting the blame for floods and sluggish governmental aid on foreigners. Some former Taliban commanders view global carbon emissions as a new invisible enemy.
“Just like they invaded our country, they’ve invaded our climate,” Lutfullah Khairkhaw, the Taliban’s deputy higher education minister, said in his opening speech at the Jalalabad conference this year. “We must defend our climate, our water, our soil to the same extent we defend ourselves against invasions.”

The Taliban fell for US ruling class disinformation. Not sure it matters, but it's interesting.
Right, WP the Taliban is concerned about climate change. What dolts WP has.
“Right, WP the Taliban is concerned about climate change. What dolts WP has.”
Yep.
This a joke. Right?
The message is: US conservatives = Taliban
Only an insane leftist, godless earth worshipper would worry about taliban carbon emissions in afghanistan. These people are insanely sick.
Who knew that the Taliban was looking for a government grant from the greenie, doomsday cultists that run America.
The Onion, Babylon, The Bee?
No, I am sure that Taliban heard that poor countries badly affected by climate change can get cash compensation via the United Nations. The Taliban are marking their place in line.
Exactly! They're too stupid to know they're being played for money.
They already poop in caves, wear bed sheets, live in other people’s homes, write in the dirt with sticks, and kill anyone that disagrees with them. I’m not sure what more they could possibly do to support leftist climate warrior efforts? They seem more like the perfect executive committee for eliminating climate change.
Seems like it must be Babylon Bee.
There was a video of a Russian general explaining the advantages of the latest Russian FAE bomb, their version of our MOAB.
He ended his presentation by pointing out that the fuel-oxidizer combination they used was “not damaging to the environment.”
We have a winner....
Some napalm will help the Taliban adapt to warmer temperatures such as those found in hell.
Taliban, climate change warriors.
Lol. Should be worth 1.5 billion from biden.
They want their share of Western guilt corruption money, that's all.
“Taliban tries reconciling science and religion in facing climate change”
It would help if they had a basic understanding of either.
Well, Taliban blames others and demands compensation!
Like everybody!
Sounds like they already got it figured out.
