There are many wars where scarcity caused by climate change has be a contributing factor. The actual term is “threat multiplier” meaning it exacerbates existing tensions between groups and makes conflict more likely. Here’s Chat GPT’s short list of such conflicts: 1. The Syrian Civil War (2011–present): A prolonged drought from 2006 to 2010, devastated agricultural production, leading to mass migration from rural areas to cities. This, combined with other political and social factors, increased tensions and contributed to the outbreak of civil war. 2. Darfur Conflict (2003–present): Environmental degradation, including desertification linked to climate change, intensified competition for scarce resources like water and arable land between nomadic herders and farming communities. This heightened tensions, contributing to the violent conflict in Sudan’s Darfur region. 3. Lake Chad Basin Conflict: Climate change has caused the shrinking of Lake Chad, a vital resource for millions in Central Africa. The reduction of water availability has fueled tensions among communities and contributed to the rise of extremist groups like Boko Haram, which exploit grievances related to resource scarcity. 4. Somalia (1991–present) • Climate Factor: Prolonged droughts and desertification. • Impact: Somalia has experienced recurring droughts that have severely affected agriculture, livestock, and water resources. This has worsened food insecurity and intensified conflict between different clans and militant groups, such as Al-Shabaab, as they compete over scarce resources. 5. Yemen Civil War (2014–present) • Climate Factor: Water scarcity and reduced agricultural yields. • Impact: Yemen is one of the most water-scarce countries in the world, and climate change has exacerbated this condition by affecting rainfall patterns and causing prolonged droughts. The resulting resource shortages have intensified pre-existing political and social divisions, contributing to the ongoing civil war. 6. South Sudan (2013–present) • Climate Factor: Flooding, drought, and changing rainfall patterns. • Impact: Climate change has worsened both droughts and flooding in South Sudan, leading to food insecurity, displacement, and competition for resources between communities, particularly pastoralists and farmers. This has fueled ethnic tensions and exacerbated the country’s civil war. 7. Afghanistan (1978–present) • Climate Factor: Drought and reduced agricultural productivity. • Impact: Afghanistan’s ongoing conflict has been worsened by climate change-driven droughts, which have devastated agriculture and increased poverty in rural areas. These factors contribute to social instability, pushing people to join militant groups such as the Taliban in search of livelihoods. 8. Ethiopia-Eritrea Conflict (1998–2000) • Climate Factor: Drought and resource scarcity. • Impact: While the primary causes of the Ethiopia-Eritrea war were political and territorial, climate change-exacerbated droughts in the Horn of Africa region put additional pressure on food supplies and resources, contributing to tensions and conflict. 9. Conflict in the Sahel Region (Ongoing) • Climate Factor: Desertification and shifting weather patterns. • Impact: The Sahel, a region across northern Africa, is highly vulnerable to climate change, experiencing desertification and irregular rainfall. This has led to resource scarcity and competition between farming communities and nomadic herders. These conditions have fueled conflicts across several countries, including Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Chad, where extremist groups exploit instability to expand their influence. 10. Rwandan Genocide (1994) • Climate Factor: Land scarcity and agricultural stress. • Impact: While the Rwandan Genocide was primarily driven by ethnic tensions and political factors, the growing pressure on arable land due to population growth and environmental degradation played a role in increasing social tensions between Hutus and Tutsis. Climate change-related stresses on agriculture exacerbated land competition and food insecurity, contributing to the underlying grievances. 11. Pakistan-India Tensions (Ongoing) • Climate Factor: Water scarcity and glacial melt. • Impact: Climate change is affecting the Himalayan glaciers, which feed the Indus River system, a vital water source for both Pakistan and India. As glacial melt accelerates and water availability fluctuates, tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors have risen, particularly over the shared river system and disputes related to water resources. 12. Bangladesh-Myanmar Rohingya Crisis (Ongoing) • Climate Factor: Rising sea levels and natural disasters. • Impact: Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to rising sea levels and flooding, which has displaced millions of people over the years. Climate migration is increasingly a factor in the region, with competition for resources like land and water contributing to tensions, including between the Rohingya ethnic minority and the Myanmar military, which led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Rohingya people. It is a fact that we are having more severe and more frequent disasters So we shouldn’t purposely cause something like that to happen again. You’re asking for science that explains why increased frequency and severity of natural disasters, rising sea levels, mass dying of species and mass migration are bad? I see endless articles explaining how they got to those conclusions. If you don’t see them in a format intended for the general public it’s because you’re not looking. I will provide you a link but first we need to cover off an explainer because I don’t think you even understand how science works so we need to address that first l As for “the actual data and analysis” of course if you’re not also a phd in science you likely won’t be able to make heads or tails of the data. It’s a climate denier meme that when they read articles intended for laypeople they say “show me the numbers so I can do my own calculations!” But then when they re presented with the data and analysis , which is written by scientists for scientists using technical terms and references, mathematical and statistical models you wouldn’t even begin to understand, they go “this is indecipherable mumbo jumbo give it to me in plain English!” You wouldn’t even be able to UNDERSTAND those studies let alone independently validate them There are hundreds of universities and scientific organizations around the world who each have dozens of scientists studying hyper-specialized topics like ocean acidification, ice core samples, soil samples old growth forests, specific plants, animals or ecosystems, weather phenomena, etc, each usually with a focus in specific regions of the world. Then there are research papers that simply compile the findings of other original research papers. So as hypothetical example the existing scientific consensus on the topic of ocean acidification might actually have arisen from hundreds of papers on hyper-specific topics such as “acidification in the intertidal regions of the Gulf of Mexico as determined using xyz methodology” or “survey of peer-reviewed oceanic acidification studies 1993-2023” and so on. As I mentioned you wouldn’t be able to understand any of their research because it’s not intended for non-scientific laypeople. You then have other groups like IPCC among many others who also review and compile the research, formulate positions amd make the info available to the general public and policy makers. In addition the journalism industry and various scientific or interest groups and mainstream media employ science writers who “dumb it down” to plain English for a general audience and you can easily find those in outlets such as National geographic, Time Magazine and traditional news outlets. Since you’re asking for data (for which let’s be honest you have neither the intellectual curiosity, lack of bias, or the scientific acumen to review or assess): Here is an example of where you can find reports. Or again you can read scientific journals intended for mainstream audiences like National Geographic, Nature, Smithsonian and others https://www.ipcc.ch/srocc/chapter/technical-summary/3 points

Here's an interesting observation. For a long while, the dictator scum of the world like Kim and Vlad worked hard to recruit stooges and agents of influence in the West's left, maybe following an established tradition. They got some traction here and there but overall, not much to boast about. The agents and their influence were meager with hardly any following. Then someone bright back there decided to try a different direction. And lo, look! A falling star of the cult, a full-time conspiracy nut, with the second man in the hierarchy (the one who wants to decide how many kids you should have and when and with whom) pick Vlad's lies right off his tongue and fan them around like some sh*t ventilators. Could Vlad, in the wildest of his dreams hope for a better output on investment? One cannot overlook it: this a bunch that is both desperate and entirely devoid of any values and principles. They will associate with anyone and anything to advance their agenda and get to the power. There are no covers anymore they are showing and telling who and what they are very clearly. To parrot lies and narratives of a fascist aggressive regime of our time is as clear a line as it can possibly get, ever, even theoretically. This never happened before in America. We will not have a simpler, more obvious case that is staring us right in the eyes.2 points

Why are turbines in existence? Turbines are in existence because every single source of electricity production, except solar, requires turbines. Coal, natural gas, nuclear, geothermal and hydro ALL use turbines to generate electricity. Shouldn’t that fact alone tell you that you probably aren’t well-enough informed to be so sure that your ideas about this are correct?1 point

You can't tell one side "DO THE RIGHT THINGS ALL THE TIME!" while you're making excuses for the other side to plan genocides, openly preach genocide, launch missiles as fast as they can make them, continually mass troops and rockets along the border, and propagandize the rest of the world to teach them hate. If you think the propaganda is no big deal, just remember that it worked on you. You are openly supportive of a group that openly preaches hatred and genocide. You must not be paying attention to the news or you would have noticed that if Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran got the chance to wipe out Israel and kill every last Jew on the planet they wouldn't waste one second weighing the morality of it, nor would they shed a tear when it was all over. There would be no international criminal court, no Nuremburg trials, just a billion-bigot celebration of joy and you'd be one of the partiers. Let me ask you this: why do you care so much about what happens to people who openly plot genocide? Why don't you have any expectation at all for Palestinians to offer peace to Israel? If Palestinians were trying to leave in peace then I would be fully on your side, but the offer of actual peace has never been on the table. The official stance of almost every muslim on the planet has always been: "The Pakistan partition, along with the millions of murders and the tens of millions driven from their homes, is 100% awesome We fully support Pakistan's right to exist as a nation we don't think that the 8 million Sikhs and Hindus who were dispossessed of their homes have any right of return Dig a hole for the dead, and everyone who lost their homes can go to hell. BUT!!!!! The Palestinian partition was evil the 500 murders are an atrocity that can only be avenged by a genocide in the millions the state of Israel can never be acknowledged - only Pakistan is worthy of statehood. Eventually the Israelis all have to be killed Mr problem solver, mr pontificator, mr humanitarian, oh great arbiter of peace and justice, can you tell me which one of those 8 bullet points is inaccurate? Can you tell me why I should just go along with the opinion that: "One partition was AWESOME and the much smaller one was evil"? Make your case, you self-righteous snot. Don't come here pretending to be some sort of sagacious humanitarian when you can't even answer the most basic questions of all. The fact is that you're an ignorant, violent bigot, and not a caring human who's busy dispensing worldly knowledge on the uninformed masses. Of course you will only focus on what you want to focus on and completely ignore the fact that YOUR SIDE HAS BEEN ACTIVELY TRYING TO KILL EVERY SINGLE ISRAELI SINCE BEFORE PARTITION! FYI the grand mufti of Palestine went to live in Germany during WWII, and he was plotting to commit genocide against the Jews long before Palestinian partition even happened. Hitler was already dead years before partition and the subsequent 1948 war. Iraq, Yemen, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Palestine (8 countries) all attacked Israel on day 1 of their existence. FYI that took prior planning. Now look at that 8-country attack through the lens of its proper historical context: it was only 8 months earlier that the Pakistanis slaughtered 800,000 Sikhs and Hindus and drove 8M more out of Pakistan, but the entire world had already moved on. It was all good. The countries who attacked Israel knew that they could get away with that exact same level of genocide back then, and that had been the plan for more than half a decade at that point. Another thing for you to consider, mr hypocrite, is that the Deir Yassin slaughter that you referenced wasn't even close to being 'the atrocity of the century' in that region. 1805, June 29 200-500 Algerian Jews are massacred.[1] 1815 Eight Jews are burned at the stake in Algiers.[1] 1818 Turks from Algiers attack Constantine, massacre and pillage Jewish homes, and abduct 17 young Jewish girls whom they bring to their commander.[2] 1830 The Persian Jewish population of Tabriz, Iran is attacked by a mob, resulting in most of the Jewish community either being killed or fleeing.[3] 1830 The Jews of Shiraz are forced to convert to Islam. 1834 The 1834 looting of Safed was a month-long attack on the Jewish population of Safed by local Arab and Druze villagers. It was full of large scale looting, as well as the killing and raping of Jews and the destruction of many homes and synagogues. Before the attacks Jews made up over 50% of the population, but many of them fled to nearby cities which reduced their presence drastically. 834 Jewish heroine and martyr Sol Hachuel is publicly decapitated at 17 years old in Fez, Morocco. She is executed for refusing to convert to Islam. 1839 Forty-plus Persian Jews are killed and the entire Jewish community of Mashhad is forced to convert to Islam in the Allahdad.[6] Many of them practised Judaism in secret, which led to the Mashhadi Jews, whom today number in the thousands. 1840 The Damascus affair: false blood libel accusations cause arrests and atrocities, culminating in the seizure of 63 Jewish children and attacks on Jewish communities throughout the Middle East. 1860 The Jews of Hamadan are accused of mocking the Ta'zieh ceremonies for Imam Husain, several of them are fined and some have their ears and noses cut off as punishment.[11] 1864 At least 500 Moroccan Jews are massacred in Marrakech and Fez. 1866 The Jews of Barforush are forcibly converted to Islam. When they are allowed to revert to Judaism thanks to French and British ambassadors, a Muslim mob kills 18 Jews, burning two of them alive.[13][14] 1869 18 Tunisian Jews are killed in a pogrom and an Arab mob loots Jewish homes and stores, burns synagogues, on Jerba Island. 1875 Twenty Jews are killed by a Muslim mob in Demnat, Morocco. 1881 Pogrom against the Jews in Tlemcen, Algeria.[20] 1882 Jewish population of Algiers is attacked by a Muslim mob.[23] 1886 Jews are attacked by Arabs in Petah Tikva[24][25][26][27] 1892 Mulla Abdullah issues a fatwa to kill all the Jews of Hamadan if they refuse to abide by Jewish restrictions. The local Persian Jews were later ordered to become Muslims or face death.[30] 1892 Two Persian Jews go out to sell merchandise and end up killed with all of their property stolen. Their relatives went out to search for the bodies and when they found them, they were killed by the same villagers. Even after many attempts to plea for their, the governor of Savojbolagh County paid them no mind.[12] 1897 Synagogues and Jewish homes are pillaged in Oran.[31] 1897 Synagogues are ransacked and Jews are murdered in Tripolitania.[32] 1898 Violent anti-Jewish riots erupt in Algiers.[31] 1907 Over 60 Jews in the Mellah of Casablanca are killed in a pogrom by Kabyle Muslims. Many more were wounded, and a large number of women and children were carried off.[5] 1910 The 1910 Shiraz blood libel was a pogrom of the Jewish quarter in Shiraz, Iran. It was sparked by accusations that the Jews had ritually murdered a Muslim girl. By the end of the pogrom, 12 Jews were killed, 50 or so were wounded, and 6,000 were robbed of all their possessions. 1912 The Tritl or the 1912 Fez massacre left 42 Moroccan Jews dead. 1917 The 1917 Jaffa deportation was a forceful expulsion and confiscation of property of 10,000 Jews from Jaffa and Tel Aviv by Ottoman authorities. 1929 18–20 Jewish residents of Safed were brutally killed in the 1929 Palestine riots. 1934 2,000 Afghani Jews are expelled from their towns and forced to live in the wilderness. 1934 34 Algerian Jews were killed and hundreds were injured by Muslim mobs during the 1934 Constantine pogrom. 200 Jewish stores were raided, the total property damage was estimated at over 150 million Poincare francs. It also sent a quarter of Constantine's Jewish population into poverty.[27] 1936 The Bloody Day in Jaffa refers to various violent attacks on Jews in Jaffa by mobs of Muslims. 1938 Arab rioters rush into the Jewish Kiryat Shmuel neighborhood, killing 19 Jews, 11 of whom were children in the 1938 Tiberias massacre. 1941 The Farhud pogrom in Baghdad results in 780 Jews dead, over 1,000 wounded.[47] 1945 The 1945 Tripoli pogrom was a violent massacre of the Jewish population of Tripoli by Muslim rioters. After days of violence 140+ Jews were dead and hundreds were injured. In the aftermath 4,000 Jews were left homeless and thousands were reduced to poverty. 9 Synagogues were destroyed, along with thousands of Jewish homes and businesses. 1945 The 1945 Anti-Jewish riots in Egypt started as an anti-Zionist demonstration, but it ended with the killing of 5 Egyptian Zionists by a Muslim mob and over 300 other Jews were injured After all of the above massacres and persecutions in Arab states (along with scores of even worse massacres in Europe), the UN voted in favour of Palestinian partition. The massacres in above, in red, were all at least 5x as large as the massacre at Deir Yassin. They also resulted in far more murders than the entire Palestinian partition. That's just a bit of proper historical context for you, old-but-unwise-guy. Below is post-partition vote/pre-partition day violence against Jews in the ME: 1945 The 1945 Anti-Jewish riots in Egypt started as an anti-Zionist demonstration, but it ended with the killing of 5 Egyptian Zionists by a Muslim mob and over 300 other Jews were injured. 1947 Anti-Jewish riots erupt in Aleppo, resulting in some 75 Jews murdered and several hundred wounded. 1947 A mob of Muslim sailors looted Jewish homes and shops in the Manama riots. In the end one Jewish woman was dead and a Synagogue was destroyed. 1947 A three-day riot broke out between the Jews of Aden and the local Muslim population. When it was over, 82 Jews were killed and 76 Jews were injured. 1947 The Aden riots of December 2–4, 1947 targeted the Jewish community in the British Colony of Aden. At least 76 Jews were killed. Shortly after the riots, Aden's Jewish community almost entirely left, together with most of the Yemeni Jewish community. Violent anti-Semitism caused the Jewish exodus from Arab lands. The Jewish population in the Arab Middle East and North Africa has decreased from 900,000 in 1948 to less than 8,000 in 2001. (When Arabs try to tell you that "Israeli Jews are all Europeans", just remember that almost a million came from that exodus. Also, the Jews that did come from Europe were almost all Arabic Jews or their descendants) 1948 The Djereda was a pogrom against the tiny Jewish population of Jerada at the hands of the local Muslims. It ended with 43 Jews dead and around 150 Jews injured. So, "old guy", the next time that you want to reminisce about just compare that to this: You wake up one day, you're sitting there having a coffee when mobs from the majority-muslim population in your city rise up and start destroying your synagogues, raping the women and girls, and killing men as fast as they can. You gather your family and flee for your lives, only to go to another muslim-controlled city because there is no Jewish country on the planet, ever since the Romans took over thousand of years earlier. At the end of that day 600 members of your community are dead and the rest of you are scattered among other hostile/semi-hostile muslim cities. Or compare it to Pakistan's second genocide. Yeah, they committed a second genocide in 1971. You wake up one day, you're sitting there having a coffee when militias controlled by the muslim government in your country set their sights on killing 3M of their own citizens to squash Bengalis who want to preserve their own culture. Your door is kicked in, and your mom and sisters are raped by Pakistani militia members while your dad is killed. (systemic genocidal rape was employed by the Pakistani gov't to force people to give up their own culture and adopt islamic culture). The Pakistanis have committed TWO genocides, both in the millions, while the big bad Israelis killed less than 500 people in the 1948 partition, but old dipshit is completely hung up on the 107 people of Deir Yassin. What do you have to say to all that, old man? Too many facts for you? Too much accurate historical context? You're just going to ignore it all and go back to your hating, right? Join gaetan here, he's your kind of guy. He might hook up with you to go have some fun at the expense of others.1 point

And where in that link does it say that "Every Day" israelis enter the west bank and kill 1200 civillians, rape the women and burn the bodies as you claimed they did? LIke, at all? Me: IF Israel crossed the border without warning or direct provocation and slaughtered 1200 of their people and took a few hundred hostages You: You must not be paying attention to the news or you would have noticed IDF do this on an almost daily basis in the west bank. there isn't a single word about that in the source you cited.

It is already causing mass migration and water shortages and disasters which has been a contributing factor to wars in Africa and Syria That’s only going to get worse, dumbass. You are such a dumbass. First of all climate change causes lots of catastrophic consequences already, long before “killing everyone”. Like are you suggesting that if centuries of disaster and turmoil only kills half the planet while the rest somehow manage to survive in some post-apocalyptic mad max world then its not a problem? Are you suggesting that if wildfires floods and droughts become normal everyday life for everyone then it’s not a problem? As for predicting the exact time and date how can I explain this in a way someone with your low IQ could understand? For example everyone knows that if you don’t change the oil in your car then EVENTUALLY the engine will fail. But even the best mechanic couldn’t tell you exactly when the engine is going to fail. Do you think that means it’s a hoax? The Obamas live in Kenwood Illinois, you idi*t. In case you’re too stupid to understand, that is not the coast. They own and rent various properties around the country for personal leisure and as investments. Not every coastal property is facing immediate short term climate risks especially not the high end properties they own. For example while sea levels are expected rise by up to 4 ft by the year 2100, on that timeframe I doubt the Obamas, whose multimillion dollar vacation property in Marthas Vineyard is 20ft ASL but likely has all sorts of remediation measures, are concerned. The house is also far back from the water.1 point

Woman whose post ignited false Springfield cat claim says it was based on rumor Erika Lee, a Springfield resident, recently authored a post on Facebook, saying that her neighbor’s cat was lost and she was told it was because the pet was attacked by a Haitian immigrant. Kimberly Newton, Lee’s neighbor, acknowledged this week to NewsGuard, “I don’t actually know the person who lost the cat.” Newton added that the cat’s owner was “an acquaintance of a friend.” Now, Lee, has said she was sorry about the way the events unfolded, with the unfounded conspiracy theories about Haitian immigrants amplified by both former President Trump and his vice presidential pick, Ohio Sen. JD Vance (R). “It just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen,” Lee said in an interview with NBC Newson Friday. Lee, whose Facebook post has been deleted, stated she did not expect that local gossip would spiral into a national story. .. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4879994-springfield-rumor-haitian-immigrants-facebook-post/ How about don’t go posting dubious unconfirmed fourth hand rumours on Facebook that you got from your neighbour’s friend’s acquaintance (whom you and your neighbour don’t even know) as if it were a confirmed fact?

Just learn it, stupid. Muslims will always cry about the 500 muslims who were killed in 1948, but they'll never shed a tear for the 800,000 Sikhs and Hindus that were killed less than a year before by muslims, in an earlier British partition. So when the muslims from outside of Palestine scream and cry that they want justice for 1948, I know that they are just bigots who aren't worth listening to. Oh stop with the poetry you bigoted whiner.1 point

His closing remark was the script advisors crafted for him that he had trained for days to use during the debate. He ignored those practiced talking points for the previous hour and a half only to drag it out at the end after it was too late. From Trump Aides Reveal Just How Badly Trump Veered Off Script in Debate: "Trump advisers say that the Republican presidential nominee was also prepped on how to deflect Harris’s attacks back onto her, but he couldn’t help himself, launching into his trademark grievances like the 2020 election. They told him not to respond directly, but he did anyway." "The plan was to press the vice president about why she and President Biden weren’t implementing any of her solutions right now, and pin today’s problems on her and the administration, according to Axios. Trump was supposed to dismiss Harris’s plans for the future, point out failures in the present, and pin the blame on her for things like the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. But given the opportunity, Trump whiffed, offering up a word salad." "Trump’s advisers pointed to his closing argument as one of the few times when he appeared to stick to the script, but that wasn’t enough to erase his ranting and raving from earlier in the debate. Republicans have been hoping for years that one day Trump would eventually become presidential, leave behind his petty grievances, and focus on the important things. They thought he would do so after he was first elected president, and then again after the attempt on his life in July, but each time, he quickly dashed their expectations. Tuesday’s debate is only the latest evidence that he refuses to change."1 point

I will say this to you once again. I do not know what is so difficult to understand? Has nothing to do with right wing or left wing or no wing. Propaganda to influence has been going on and is going on all the time to influence people from everything to what paper to use to wipe you ass to your politics LOL Look, be realistic. At what point in communication history has there not been someone trying to influence others? Be it voice, song written ratio, tv or now the web? If this thread is narrowed down to only politics, at what point in Canadian history has there not been one form of propaganda or influence peddling for political parties or candidates? The conspiracy theory is one that the Russians are behind this. It could be Chinese, Iranian, Tongolese, American ,Mexican, it could be disgruntled citizens, it could be the political; parties themselves.1 point

At this point it's pretty clear that you only see what you want to, and only hear what you want to. You called someone retarded in this thread (among other things) and later cried foul over insults when people mocked your reasoning. The absurd hypocrisy of that complaint is yet another example of your shitty, one-directional reasoning in this thread. You're "over it, and you've moved on", though. Cool. 🙄 Hopefully that spares us any more of this kind of foolishness.1 point
