Climate Change is being blamed, in part, for the civil war in Syria.

I don't find this a reach. Historically, we've seen populations around the world go to war with their neighbors as resources are constricted. Climate Change will have a variety of impacts. If you're living in an area with dwindling water supply where are you going to get the water? Do you have financial resources to pay continually for water? Or does it make sense to financially invest in weapons and then take the water?


One other interesting thing is since 1967 the world has doubled in population. In my lifetime there's now twice as many people in the world. The next doubling is supposed to take even less years. So not only do nations see changes in resources due to climate change they need more resources due to population growth.
 
February breaks global temperature records by 'shocking' amount
Warnings of climate emergency after surface temperatures 1.35C warmer than average temperature for the month

February smashed a century of global temperature records by “stunning” margin, according to data released by Nasa.

The unprecedented leap led scientists, usually wary of highlighting a single month’s temperature, to label the new record a “shocker” and warn of a “climate emergency”.

The Nasa data shows the average global surface temperature in February was 1.35C warmer than the average temperature for the month between 1951-1980, a far bigger margin than ever seen before. The previous record, set just one month earlier in January, was 1.15C above the long-term average for that month.

Biggest hoax in human history, etc.
 
Weren't we supposed to be running ocean going shipping vessels through the Arctic year round by now for years?
