Mr Objma Attacking ISIS : Air Conditioners & Jobs

If we weren't in such deep trouble in this country and around the world, this absurdity would be comedy relief but Mr Objma is serious, right? But don't you think he has another agenda running here and that it doesn't bode well for us or the rust of the world as well?

The New Yorker Becomes The Onion

Oh good grief. The New Yorker is trying to give the New York Times a run for its money as the most pathetic attempt to put The Onion out of business:

 

Why a Climate Deal Is the Best Hope for Peace 

 By Jason Box and Naomi Klein

. . . The connection between warming temperatures and the cycle of Syrian violence is, by now, uncontroversial. As Secretary of State John Kerry said in Virginia, this month, “It’s not a coincidence that, immediately prior to the civil war in Syria, the country experienced its worst drought on record. As many as 1.5 million people migrated from Syria’s farms to its cities, intensifying the political unrest that was just beginning to roil and boil in the region.” . . .
[A]s the author and energy expert Michael T. Klare argued weeks before the attacks, Paris “should be considered not just a climate summit but a peace conference—perhaps the most significant peace convocation in history.”

Nope: not going to give a coveted Green Weenie for this. As has been noted, funny how climate change doesn’t seem to cause Lutherans, Hindus, Jews, or Zoroastrians to become terrorists or start wars, though as we have seen climate change caused Hitler and Nazism, so there’s that.

If the climate-Syrian war connection is “uncontroversial,” it’s because it is . . . completely idiotic. Is it really the case that if it were four degrees cooler in Syria there’d be no civil war? Gosh, why are we wasting all of this time on peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians? Just send air conditioners and tankers full of Evian to Gaza.

And Klein forgot her usual mantra, which is that the only solution to climate change is to abolish capitalism. I’m sure we’ll get plenty of rhetoric out of the Paris “peace conference” starting next week about that. Incidentally, how did the last big Paris peace conference work out? Oh yeah—climate change ruined it I think.
