Human conflict and climate change linked by academy

Human conflict as long been thought by many as a naturally evolving from climate change.

And now America’s National Academy of Science has made that link.

In a story headed: “Researchers Link Syrian Conflict to a Drought Made Worse by Climate Change” draws one of the strongest links yet between global warming According to the story, “Researchers said Monday that an extreme drought in Syria between 2006 and 2009 was most likely due to climate change, and that the drought was a factor in the violent uprising that began there in 2011.

“The drought was the worst in the country in modern times, and in a study published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the scientists laid the blame for it on a century-long trend toward warmer and drier conditions in the Eastern Mediterranean, rather than on natural climate variability,” it was reported.
