Prince Charles correct about Syria and climate change

ast week, Prince Charles, known for his occasionally outrageous views, asserted what sounds at first to be absurd: that climate change may have been a cause of Syria’s mayhem, which has become an almost global crisis.

And that as our planet heats up, we must prepare for more climate wars.
