Climate Change = Drought = Violance
Views: 1370
A scientific team,
. . . began with some evidence that Syria’s 2007−2010 drought
. . . (the worst drought on record there,
. . . which caused widespread crop failure, and
. . . spurred a rapid exodus of 1.5 million from farms to the cities)
. . . contributed to the subsequent conflict.
Was it possible that chaos in Syria and climate change might be related?
“We conclude that human influences on the climate system,
. . . are implicated in the current Syrian conflict.”
That internal war has killed about 200,000 people, and
. . . affected roughly 1/2 of Syria’s population to date.
Even worse, war in Syria and climate change may continue to coexist.
. . . Kelley’s extrapolations indicate
. . . “an increasingly drier and hotter future mean climate,
. . . for the Eastern Mediterranean.”
The researchers find that a drought of the severity and duration of Syria’s,
. . . now implicated in the current conflict, is more than twice as likely,
. . . because of human interference in the climate system.
