Global warming blamed for more maladies. Real Science reaction: 'In 1933, drought was blamed on Yo-Yos. Eighty years later, modern Yo-Yos blame drought on CO2' Latest science refutes global warming/drought claims: Globally, 'there has been little change in drought over the past 60 years.'

As international tensions heat up over Syria, many global warming activists are trying to capitalize on the situation by blaming man-made global warming for the conflict. Specifically climate change promoters are blaming recent droughts on global warming.

How Climate Change Warmed Syria Up for War — Drought allegedly caused by global warming helped create conflict – ‘So this is our mess too. We’re still cranking away at the carbon pump, and no nation is as culpable as the U.S.’ — William Polk, an ex-US State Department advisor, has written a meticulously detailed account of the genesis of the conflict over at The Atlantic..

Warmist Claim: ‘How Climate Change Primed Syria for War’ — ‘Drought devastated the country from 2006 to 2011′ — ‘Climate change, however, is adding a new dynamic to the game. This is why the US military has identified climate change as a ‘threat multiplier’.

Bill Moyers Tweeted: ‘Climate change in Syria helped spark the civil war there. Which country is next?’ — Meteorologist Dr. Ryan Maue mocked Moyers: ‘Fighting global warming on par with terrorism and nuclear proliferation. WMD isn’t Sarin gas, it’s carbon dioxide’

Seeking the cause of droughts is Syria in not without historical precedent. In a January 23, 1933 news article, Yo Yo’s were banned in Syria because they were also “blamed for drought.” See: Have we progressed?! 2013: Warmists blame Syrian drought on man-made global warming — Flashback 1933: ‘YO-YO BANNED IN SYRIA – Blamed For Drought By Moslems’ — Real Science reaction: ‘In 1933, Syrian experts blamed drought on the use of Yo-Yos.

How Climate Change Warmed Syria Up for War — Drought allegedly caused by global warming helped create conflict – ‘So this is our mess too. We’re still cranking away at the carbon pump, and no nation is as culpable as the U.S.’ — William Polk, an ex-US State Department advisor, has written a meticulously detailed account of the genesis of the conflict over at The Atlantic…”Syria has been convulsed by civil war since climate change came to Syria with a vengeance,” Polk writes. “Drought devastated the country from 2006 to 2011. Rainfall in most of the country fell below eight inches (20 cm) a year, the absolute minimum needed to sustain un-irrigated farming. Desperate for water, farmers began to tap aquifers with tens of thousands of new well. But, as they did, the water table quickly dropped to a level below which their pumps could lift it.” — So this is our mess too. We’re still cranking away at the carbon pump, and no nation is as culpable as the United States—and as long as we do, we’ll be at least in some small part, responsible for the starving, rioting masses all the way across the globe. If we’re so dead set on intervention, maybe we should be focusing less on missiles and more on clean energy.
