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.

“How climate change helped strengthen the Taliban”
I KNEW it! the chaos in afganistan had nothing at all to do with a senile President after all! thank you, CBS News for clearing this up!
In that chart it’s the part labeled “Present Global Warming”.
Ah, yes, the part that the text below it calls “almost non-measurable.”
Exactly. Before the 1990’s injected politics into global warming, the few people who talked about climate science and cooling and warming trends all agreed that the Current Warming Trend is nothing like the Medieval Warm Period or the Roman Warm Period. We’d be lucky if we got that warm again. Those were times of much better crop yields, easier to predict rain patterns, and less plagues. We should be glad we’ve spent the past century and a half coming out of the Little Ice Age.
LOL! My itchy skin went away and my face cleared up! Thanks climate change!
