President Barack Obama blamed the Syrian War on climate change during an event with Leo DiCaprio this week.

He also attacked patriotic Americans with flag pins at the same time!

Via Climate Depot:

PRESIDENT OBAMA: “There’s already some really interesting work — not definitive but powerful — showing that the droughts that happened in Syria contributed to the unrest and the Syrian civil war. Well, if you start magnifying that across a lot of states, a lot of nation states that already contain a lot of poor people who are just right at the margins of survival, this becomes a national security issue. And, that’s why even as we have members of Congress who scoff at climate change at the same time as they are saluting and wearing flag pins and extolling their patriotism they’re not paying attention to our Joints Chief of Staff and the Pentagon who are saying this is one of the most significant national security threats that we face over the next fifty years.”

It’s much easier for Obama to blame the Syrian quagmire on climate change junk science than his failed foreign policy.

Of course, Obama was wrong again.
