Climate change root cause of Syrian war: Britain's Prince Charles
Reuters ^ | 11/23/2015 | Michael Holden

Posted on 11/23/2015 2:23:58 AM PST by ScottWalkerForPresident2016

Britain's Prince Charles has pointed to the world's failure to tackle climate change as a root cause of the civil war in Syria, terrorism and the consequent refugee crisis engulfing Europe.

The heir to the British throne is due to give a keynote speech at the opening of a global climate summit in Paris next week where 118 leaders will gather to try to nail down a deal to limit rising greenhouse gas emissions.

"Some of us were saying 20 something years ago that if we didn't tackle these issues, you would see ever greater conflict over scarce resources and ever greater difficulties over drought, and the accumulating effect of climate change which means that people have to move," he said.

"And in fact there's very good evidence indeed that one of the major reasons for this horror in Syria, funnily enough, was a drought that lasted for about five or six years, which meant that huge numbers of people in the end had to leave the land but increasingly they came into the cities."

None of that. Just spiritually stunted and unaware.

"too many ‘normal’ people unwilling to sacrifice anything at all to even speak out or vote them out much less openly rebel."

I'm willing, as painful as it may be, to sacrifice all Democrats. Gas them, with N2, bury them in ditches dug down the fairways of all the local golf courses. They get to return to Gaia, and solve the Atheist controversy.
We get richer, thicker grass, not so much skipping on the drive and second shots to the green.
The National Bell Curve Mean of Stupid moves 50% to the right, oil consumption would be cut in half, all the CO2 and methane they would exhaust with a vegan diet would be reabsorbed by all the trees...

The benefits are boundless. It would show Islam that our intentions are serious. If we are willing to sacrifice our most useless, certainly they can see the advantage in a more introspective foreign policy.

Elizabeth II is 89 years old. Her mother lived to the age of 101. She stands a fair chance of outliving Charles, who is 68 years old. However, his father, Prince Philip, is 93, so Charles has inherited some good longevity genes. I am not familiar as to how the rules of succession to the British throne work to allow Charles to be bypassed, even if this is a good idea.

Evidently, my Brit friends says abdication in favor of a third generation heir is acceptable. It depends on the circumstances.

She is not happy with Charles, and Camilla is “poor white trash” to the Queen. She loathes the woman, and still refuses to accept her into the family. I’m thinking Charles is regretting marrying her.

At this point, the field is open.

It is all about financing the world order and control.

And they are starting to lose their grip and the narrative.

The are becoming more dangerous.

Hence the meltdown of Buckwheat in Asia.

We don’t DO Princes in the United States.

Im an American and a republican, so I don’t much care about royalty. But God Save the Queen. May she outlive her idiot son, or find some way to pass him over in favor of her grandson.

Geez-O-Pete!

People have been moving to the cities for 40 years all over the world. That’s why most of the Northern states are blue. The libs all live in the cities. The Northern country folk hate the liberals.

Yes, and I’m sure some global something was responsible for Hitler too.

Good grief what a bunch of patticakes we have in the world these days.

I have high hopes for his parents. If they are stable, chances are a lot better he will be.

Charlie decided he wanted to be with his own kind — another equine.

I think Prince Charles is absolutely correct about Climate Change causing Mid-East strife. Think about it. Climate Change has been continuously occurring during the entire thousands of years of continuous strife in the Mid-East. But of course it would be silly to think that the thousands of years of strife has been causing the Climate Change, so therefore the only other possible logical conclusion is that Climate Change must be causing the strife.

Well, now we know he didn’t kill Diana. He’s to dumb to have pulled it off.

He was never worthy of her and the fact that he dated the BEAST OF BURDEN Camilla proves it. Diana had more class in her pinky finger than the stupid prince had in his entire body.

Worthless Charles still has his head up his ass after all these years. I think the queen is holding on and refusing to die because she doesn’t this dud of a son becoming king. Probably hoping he’ll kick the bucket before she does and the grandson can take over.

I think it’s genetics. Look at Chode’s 33.

Plus this guy went all islamic many years ago. For the caliphate, many of them will gladly take the head off this dhimmi. GoreBull Warming may indeed be a NWO scam but he’s messing with real danger with the other one. Not too bright.
