Our children. What greater rejection of those who would tear down our world than marshaling our best efforts to save it. Rather than trying to unite the world against isis, rather than trying to find a solution to syria, rather than worrying about how we protect the homeland in a way that is effective, he is talking about this other stuff. Reporter some commentators called the connection between Climate Change and terrorism, a stretch. One study said the severe drought in syria from 2007 to 2010. It caused widespread crop failure and caused families to go to urban areas to raise the environment for isis but the he had are of to vox media said Climate Change can be only considered one factor that led to the conflict and it is impact.
