One day after the Islamic State group killed or injured about 500 people in a series of attacks in Paris, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., linked climate change to the spread of terrorist groups overseas. At the second Democratic presidential debate, held Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa, Sanders was asked whether he stood by his previous claims that climate change was the No. 1 threat to national security. He said he did.
"Climate change is directly related to the rise of global terrorism," Sanders said, adding that it would cause nations to start "struggling over limited amounts of water, limited amounts of land to grow their crops, and you're going to see all kinds of international conflict," ABC News reported. Sanders backed up his statement by mentioning what "the CIA says," a likely reference to a July 2015 report from the U.S. Department of Defense that found "global climate change will aggravate problems such as poverty, social tensions, environmental degradation, ineffectual leadership and weak political institutions that threaten stability in a number of countries," according to a news release.

I thought Bernie was driving at climate change causes poverty and poverty creates terrorists but he didn’t quite get there. And that was because he had no idea what he was going to say when he started saying it.

The title should read: At Democrat Socialist Debate...
I watched for about 35 minutes and it was extremely painful, pure socialist/communist rhetoric, I heard not a single logical argument from anyone, each one of them reaffirmed their support for obama’s policies, they either believe this crap or obama threatened to destroy them if they oppose him, most likely both are true.

Uhh...here in Central New Jersey. It’s a bit cooler today than it was yesterday. And the breeze slowed down slightly.

Exactly, triumph of the stupid. Its how civilizations fall when the stupid quotient becomes too great.

I can’t imagine someone actually believing this. I wouldn’t know whether to laugh at them or feel sorry for them.

I glanced at his “reasoning “ from another source earlier and recall water and food shortage mentioned in desert regions. Sounds like the muzzie “plan” to out breed the rest of the world was not one of their better ideas.

Dang! I get it now. They want to kill us because they realized it’s hot in the desert. Thanks for the brilliant insight Bernie. When do you go back to your real job as an orchestra conductor?

“Where exactly has the climate actually âchangedâ?”
Exactly. What has been the climate change in Syria? In Nigeria? Joe Bastardi just put that notion to rest in Saturday’s segment.

The implication is that blood is on the hands of “deniers.”

They are blindly following agenda 21 because they have been terrorized into believing the planet will die otherwise. Once they figure out it was about control it will be too late.

I can't imagine someone actually believing this. I wouldn't know whether to laugh at them or feel sorry for them. My friend, and her husband believe this. I had to listen to a "Bernie's right" speech this am when I made the mistake of mentioning the climate change/jihad connection that The Bern had posited last night.

’ “Climate change is directly related to the rise of global terrorism the number of votes I get from morons,” Sanders said,... ‘
When the Muzzies line up their victims I have not heard them ask any of them if they a Dems or Republicans, believe in climate change or not, they seem to be equal opportunity choppers and shooters. Since the Dems want fairness above all things they should be alright with this.

It is always easier to blame something or someone else. Pass the blame. It’s NOT their fault for sure. It has to be elsewhere.
