Do what???

Quote:A professor is blaming climate change and overpopulation for the creation of the terrorist group ISIS.

Charles Strozier, Professor of History and the founding Director of the John Jay College Center on Terrorism and Kelly Berkell, research assistant at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, wrote a blog piece in the Huffington Post called “ How Climate Change Helped ISIS,” where they argue that a four-year drought in Syria, from 2006 through 2010, “devastated the livelihoods of 800,000 farmers and herders; and knocked two to three million people into extreme poverty.” [...]

The pair offer a call to action for Americans to consider the link between melting glaciers and a stronger Taliban.

“If more Americans knew how glacial melt contributes to catastrophic weather in Afghanistan—potentially strengthening the Taliban and imperiling Afghan girls who want to attend school—would we drive more hybrids and use millions fewer plastic bags? How would elections and legislation be influenced?” they write.

“While ISIS threatens brutal violence against all who dissent from its harsh ideology, climate change menaces communities (less maliciously) with increasingly extreme weather.”

I can see how a famine could cause revolutions, but I'm unsure how it would kick start a group as sick & twisted as ISIS. While there could be some truth to what he's saying, I don't think that Global Warming is at the heart of this issue.

Much of higher ed is a farce these days. Maybe even the majority of it.

Just a gut feeling… but Adam was probably influenced by the adverse
affects of climate chaos, Eve on the other hand most likely caused it.
