Jihad Watch has a post today about a Reuters report on the theory put forward at a conference in London entitled: Climate Change: The Global Security Impact”.
Some people will resort to anything to avoid looking squarely at the implications of the Islamic jihad ideology. Watch this space for next week’s feature, “Chicken Salad Causes Jihad.”
“Climate change seen fanning conflict and terrorism,” by Mark Trevelyan for Reuters, with thanks to Paul:
LONDON (Reuters) – Global warming could exacerbate the world’s rich-poor divide and help to radicalize populations and fan terrorism in the countries worst affected, security and climate experts said on Wednesday.
If poverty causes jihad, why isn’t Haiti teeming with suicide bombers?
“We have to reckon with the human propensity for violence,” Sir Crispin Tickell, Britain’s former ambassador to the United Nations, told a London conference on “Climate Change: the Global Security Impact.”
If Global Warming (TM) cause jihad, so would alternative fuel. I’m sure Jihadists will stop the violence and turn the world into a love fest once we take away their one and only source of money (aside from donations from radicals) when we all start driving Hydrogen cars. I’m sure lessening our dependence on foreign oil will solve all our problems. GAG!
Of course I’m all for alternative energy, but it ain’t no fix-all.
good lord, imagine the mess the world will be when we are no longer dependant on middle eastern oil. I’m going to curl up in a kevlar cocoon.
