How climate change helped strengthen the Taliban
Cbsnews ^ | 08/20/2021 | Cara Korte

Rural Afghanistan has been rocked by climate change. The past three decades have brought floods and drought that have destroyed crops and left people hungry. And the Taliban — likely without knowing climate change was the cause — has taken advantage of that pain.

While agriculture is a source of income for more than 60% of Afghans, more than 80% of conflicts in the country are linked to natural resources, according to a joint study by the World Food Programme, the United Nations Environment Program and Afghanistan's National Environmental Protection Agency. In 2019, Afghanistan ranked sixth in the world for countries most impacted by climate change, according to the Germanwatch Global Climate Risk Index.

There’s a word “Braining” which implies the hard thrust of a stone into the the skull, likely causing enough trauma as to destroy the brain and even push it out of the skull.

These reports are like what was left wrote the story.

Oh for f*cks sake. Can’t they find another excuse. This one’s getting old. How about blaming it on aliens for a change. It’s just as plausible.

I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on.

Climate change empowered the middle east. Not climate change, but the libtard’s overreaction to the Current Warm Trend and doing everything they could to block us from drilling for our own energy for many years.

Cara Korte is a “climate change reporter”.

In other words, an expert at nothing. What a pile of unscientific excrement!!! They’ve reached a point where they believe none of it can be questioned, so they just make assertions of fact all over the place to the point of pure foolishness.

What really strengthened the Taliban was the referees were biased against my favorite sports team the other night. They should feel very guilty about now!

Climate change causes everything bad in the world. If there were no climate change, we would be in the Paradise.

So it is not all Biden’s fault. It is also climate change. Who knew?

Climate change and Joe Biden giving them $85 billion is U.S. military equipment.

You would think that even some of the less intelligent people would start to see they are being plied with shameless propaganda.

It would appear “orangeman bad” isn’t working as well as they hoped.
