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.

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.
