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."

Need to lay off the KOOLAID would be king Chuck or it will make your ears big...uh, too late.

That will be a great comfort to the Islamists’ British victims and their families. When they’re laying prone, waiting for their 7.62 in the back of the head, they can think, “my lorry is the cause of all this.” The bereaved can say, “I hope my farts don’t have to much methane.”

No, they’ll just be the ones doing the rebuilding. That doesn’t surprise me at all. There are still sane people. Just not many.

The vast majority of this country can’t be bothered to pull themselves away from reruns of the Kardashians, Football and shopping Ebay for their new F-350/Pirus. When given the choice to change their circumstances, they march into a booth and re-elect/try to reelect more of what screwed America up to begin with, then beat their chests about how conservative they are.

[Norm Lenhart]

Not at all. Ever watch Idiocracy? See anything that looked familiar?

[Genoa]

God save the Queen.

[Founding Father]

It took a village to raise this idiot.

[servantboy777]

No, he’z not stupid. He and many others such as Al Gore, Soros, Gates, Bush Sr., Jimmy Carter all believe they are the global elite. They push climate change as a way through the U.N. to gain control over every aspect of your life. They are specifically after your pocket.

Climate change is just the false platform in which to advance this agenda. This group wants a global climate tax. They then will realize billions pouring into this agenda and will allow them to successfully set up more U.N. (global) control over our lives. From light bulbs to guns, from what you drive to how you clean your clothes.

How is it that climate change only seems to affect muslims? Europeans are not at war.

[Rapscallion]

climate change as a root cause of the civil war in Syria, terrorism and the consequent refugee crisis engulfing Europe.

You can be sure no hard analysis went into that daffy statement. Consider also religious intolerance and rational fear of mass murder, crucifixion, branding, and limb removal.

“May Queen Elizabeth live forever.”

Charles dangerous stupidity is likely the driving force that wills her to live for as long as possible.

[4yearlurker]

Another Royal imbecile.

What's more likely is bad government, exacerbated by overpopulation in a country that is 75% desert:

Historical population
Year	Pop.	±%
1937	2,368,000	—
1950	3,252,000	+37.3%
1960	4,565,000	+40.4%
1970	6,305,000	+38.1%
1980	8,704,000	+38.0%
1990	12,116,000	+39.2%
1995	14,186,000	+17.1%

Funny how climate change didn’t cause war in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, UAE etc...

[ThunderSleeps]

The Prince may be a prince of a fellow (though there's ample evidence he's not) but he is unquestionably an ignorant idiot on this issue. This is the worst kind of forced false connecting of dots.

Drought in Syria? Yeah, there have been dozens of areas experiencing drought over the past couple of decades. Guess what, most of them did not descend into armed conflict. The Syrian civil war is more about Assad being a dictator atop a corrupt, violent, and oppressive regime.

[Col Frank Slade]

The Prince is a LOONY.

[Albion Wilde]

Elizabeth II: may she live to be 125, and pass the throne directly to George. That will give the rest of the sane world time to bring him up to speed on the enormous scam that is climate change.

That's George there in the red pants. Some say he is already displaying his fierce kingly personality. Others say he is peeing his diaper.
