Shane Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 http://news.sky.com/story/1592373/charles-syrias-war-linked-to-climate-change I have always felt he was a plonker but this is great. Yes we know that climate change/drout etc can affect migration, of course it can but to suggest it has played a part in the Syrian situation is just plain nuts imo. He needs to stick to opening subways and church fetes and keep nonsense like this to himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Climate change has an impact on poverty / famine, so his comments were correct in the sense that they can be contributory factors to desperation, and hence extremism. In this case, I think it's a bit of a stretch though. Is he suggesting climate change is making Northern European jihadis go to fight in Syria? I would say that a combination of people having their heads filled with religious nonsense from the the cradle, combined with high unemployment and increasing wealth inequality are more tangible factors.
