Eighty years ago, Islamic experts blamed Syrian drought on Yo-Yo’s
23 Jan 1933 – YO-YO BANNED IN SYRIA Blamed For Drought By Mosl…
Now Yo-Yo’s at the Pentagon blame Syrian drought on CO2.
He pointed to the conflict with the Islamic State group in Syria, which he stressed was not caused by climate change. But, he said, tensions were exacerbated by a dramatic decline in precipitation, which, combined with poor management of natural resources, led to extreme water scarcity and the displacement of more than 1.5 million people.
“Climate change makes a number of other security issues worse, so we can’t ignore it. And if we do ignore it, then we’re also ignoring key drivers of instability, key drivers of conflict and potential drivers of terrorism that will come back to haunt us down the road,” Femia said.

Blaming the drought on an increase of 0.0001 mole fraction CO2, is every bit as ignorant as blaming Yo-Yo’s. Mankind has not progressed,
WEATHER makes a number of other security issues worse. Just look at how Katrina turned New Orleans immediately into Nigeria. If it had lasted a week longer, I would have expected to see pet hyenas in the Superdome.
The CIA now says that the Syrians were wrong, it was the fault of all those women secretly using hula-hoops that caused the drought. They exhaled far too much CO2.
I see the problem, the women didn’t get permission to breathe. That caused all that co2. If only…
That was the problem at the time – the CIA revealing the identities of women having elevated and excited breathing when only normal rates were permitted.
Too many word-plays, so little time!
That’s like saying that Humpty Dumpty hasn’t achieved a lower state of entropy by falling off the wall.
Tbe Muslim chiefs in 1933 Damascus were satisfied with banning the Yo-Yos. They didn’t ask for trials or killings of the makers and sellers. Our Progressive chiefs call for death and Nuremberg trials.
Personally, I blame Yo Yo Mah. If we wasn’t playing his cello all the time, it would be lots cooler.
