Al Gore: Syrian civil war and Arab Spring both
resulted from climate change/food riots,
by Ann Corcoran 6/1/17
On the South Korean island of Jeju.
Apparently, not a peep from Gore in
his recent speech at the Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity about Islamic
supremacists like ISIS and Inter-Islam civil wars causing unrest throughout a
large portion of the world. I wonder how much he was paid to speak at the posh
paradise island resort?
From the Korea Herald: Climate crisis behind political riots and refugees JEJU ISLAND —
Climate crisis-induced food shortages were behind the Arab revolutions in 2010
known as the Arab Spring, former United States Vice President Al Gore said
Thursday, making the case for action to counter climate change as a growing
cause of social instability.
Gore, vice president from 1993-2001
under former President Bill Clinton, was giving a speech on “Challenges and
Opportunities of Climate Change” at the on-going Jeju Forum for Peace and
Prosperity on this resort island.
Spark that began Arab Spring was about food….
“(It was) a significant event
because a food vendor in Tunisia at the peak of the food crisis set himself on
fire and the video of that self-immolation caused the Arab Spring,” he said,
referring to the democracy protests that originated in Tunisia. “His last words
were not ‘Down with the Tyrant,’ his last words were ‘How am I supposed to
live?’
“(Nevertheless) the connection
between climate crisis and political instability is an issue that has not yet
received enough attention,” he stressed.
Also behind the outbreak of the Syrian civil war were climate
change-triggered food problems, Gore also said,
highlighting that a climate-related drought from 2006-2010 destroyed 60 percent
of all the farms in the country and drove 1.5 million climate refugees into the
cities of Syria.
“When these climate refugees
collided with another 1.5 million refugees from the Iraq War in the cities of
Syria, the social explosion happened,” according to Gore. Sheesh!
See my ‘Climate
refugee’ category where 50 posts are
archived. The world ‘refugee crisis’ will never be resolved because even
if all of the Islam-generated strife ended tomorrow, the Far Left is busy
readying a new reason to open your wallets and your homes throughout the west
and invite in the third world.
Will Donald Trump “lead us into the
wilderness” today on Paris Climate Accord? I
have never looked at the ‘Accord,’ does it make us responsible for MORE
refugees? Does anyone know?
