Modern experts blame Syrian droughts on CO2, but in the 1930’s droughts were blamed on Yo-Yo’s
How Climate Change Created the Syrian Crisis Posted on September 3, 2013 by Alisha Mims
On Monday, The Atlantic released an analysis of the Syrian conflict written by veteran foreign policy consultant, William R. Polk. As the article points out, the current conflict in Syria began as a result of climate change.
Before the country was ravaged by drought, from 2006 to 2011, Syria was made up of diverse groups that generally lived adjacent to one another as opposed to integrating in shared locations. During the drought, rainfall in most places throughout the country fell to below the minimum needed to sustain un-irrigated farming.
23 Jan 1933 – YO-YO BANNED IN SYRIA Blamed For Drought By Mosl…
In the 1870s, Syrian droughts seemed to have something to do with Christian imperfection.
It is good to see some science being brought into the debate for a change.
Yo-Yo’s causing drought?? That’s almost as stupid as Pat Robinson’s “Gays Cause Hurricanes ”
Look… anytime (anywhere) religious nutjobs are allowed to rule you get this sort of rubbish … even stranger is that nitwits in protected backwaters presenting this as having something to do with science.. then to today’s far-right yo-yos are far easier to understand..
How many drugs do you have to take to become as stupid as you are?
Of course.. a standard Conservative ad hominem response…
But in reference to your question.. You came dangerously close to a good point.. though I suspect quite by accident… Conservatism has indeed been shown to manifest as a drug.. a very powerful mind-altering one in which the afflicted feels compelled to invent bizarre rationalizations to fit a false yet fearful reality.. You might find it interesting that anti-anxiety medications have an impressive record of alleviating such unwanted radical Conservatism… Still, isn’t it curious how often and with such fanaticism the most pitiable of the afflicted seek the assurance of other sufferers.. e.g. this site..
The fact remains.. Everywhere to a greater or lesser degree religious fundamentalism, ignorance and intolerance always goes hand in hand with radical Conservatism…
Tea Party or Taliban.. It’s the nature of the beast.

You have said nothing of any content, because you know nothing about the subject matter.
Did you actually read the 1933 newspaper article before spouting your brain-deficient rhetoric?
How much does one need to know about Syria banning Yo-Yos in the 1930’s.
The reality is that one need only read as far as “Modern experts blame Syrian droughts on CO2, but in the 1930?s droughts were blamed on Yo-Yo’s” to see through the simple-mindedness of the false conflation of actual climate science with religious fundamentalism..
Seriously, If not for logical fallacies radical Conservatives could not form a complete sentence.
The logic is quite simple.
Primitive, superstitious people like yourself are always looking for someone to blame, someone to burn for “cooking the weather.” YoYos have as much to do with the drought as does CO2.
Not being religious (or a contemporary Conservative) one cannot be “Primitive or superstitious” ..
Speaking of primitive and superstitious … “YoYos have as much to do with the drought as does CO2.” (as well as perusing this comical site) does seem to sum up your understanding of Climate Science ..
Do you also cast bones to supplement your skills as hepatomancer..?
Muslims blamed Yo-Yos for the weather. You blame Republicans. You are as mindless and primitive as human beings get. Had you lived in the 17th century, you would have been out burning witches.
Your entire argument is based on ad homs and appeals to authority, because you understand nothing about science.
The worst US droughts occurred in the 1930s and 1950s. Must have been the CO2? Go get a brain.
You can add poor reading comprehension to go with your deficient critical thinking skills.. .. or perhaps you simple don’t understand that there is a difference between conservative Republicans (yes a few still exist) and fundamentalist Conservatives… I blame fundamentalist Conservatives.. U.S. Conservatives.. Middle East Conservatives.. groups that do not value facts.. A subset of that coven is the anti-science horde of which you belong.
You have nothing here but a House of Mirrors… distortions sheltered from annoying facts.. I recommend that you stand firmly on this soapbox of lies you’ve painstakingly constructed.. In the real world you’d be expected to be able to support your statements.
Here you can enjoy your delusions..
Only a complete moron would blame the weather on other people.

“Climate” and “Weather” are not the same…. anyone even remotely familiar with the subject knows this.. Not by coincidence .. that is also why you don’t know the difference.. ..
In that you don’t even possess the most basic understanding of the relationship between “Climate” and “Weather” we can only assume that your entire impetus for maintaining such a collection of lie as is this site is some deep seated need to perpetuate the Oil and Coal Industry deception .. You’re a tool.. not even a sharp one at that.. ..

Crock Hunter sounds like the last gasp of the true believer in a dying religion.
Science is neither a “religion” nor is it “dying”… However, thanks to science your religion..”ignorance” .. is dying.. and not a moment too soon…
Conservatism has always stood in the path of progress..thankfully it has always been run over…
Keep praying that the Church of CO2 is correct. Your faith is all that keeps this sham going, it certainly is not any science.

You have one more chance to say something intelligent, and if you fail you are spam.
ah ha!…I knew it, he’s a plant to make liberals look bad!
…I’m wise to your little scheme!
Really… ?? I find it impossible to believe that you’re wise to anything..
So.. if you can’t compete.. ban’um… Right?
ROTFL….You’re giving yourself away…not even liberals are that stupid!
