College Prof Blames Global Warming For Rise Of ISIS

It's no joke, this professor is blaming climate change and overpopulation for the creation of the terrorist group ISIS.




(Campus Reform) Charles Strozier, Professor of History and the founding Director of the John Jay College Center on Terrorism and Kelly Berkell, research assistant at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, wrote a blog piece in the Huffington Post called “ How Climate Change Helped ISIS,” where they argue that a four-year drought in Syria, from 2006 through 2010, “devastated the livelihoods of 800,000 farmers and herders; and knocked two to three million people into extreme poverty.”

"If more Americans knew how glacial melt contributes to catastrophic weather in Afghanistan—potentially strengthening the Taliban and imperiling Afghan girls who want to attend school—would we drive more hybrids and use millions fewer plastic bags? How would elections and legislation be influenced?"

"As the Obama administration undertakes a highly public, multilateral campaign to degrade and destroy the militant jihadists known as ISIS, ISIL and the Islamic State,” the two write, “many in the West remain unaware that climate played a significant role in the rise of Syria's extremists."

"Many became climate refugees," Strozier and Berkell write.

The pair offer a call to action for Americans to consider the link between melting glaciers and a stronger Taliban.

  1. Tell us all about global warming to the people in the fall that have snow covering the ground in Minnesota! Any one believing this global warming bullshit need to go for a brain transplant NOW! Global warming is being blamed on anything & everything except where real global warming comes from. It comes from the sun, but even our scientist say that there is NO GLOBAL WARMING! As a matter of fact it is the complete opposite, the earth is cooling down!
