A new and terrifying trend
This article from the BBC website puts into a clear lens a disturbing new trend that is emerging: Climate-inspired conflict. The general idea is that climate change is causing wars over resources, especially in places like Africa where the average person relies very heavily on the land and water sources for their day to day survival (unlike most Americans). Darfur and South Sudan are examples of this but another fact is that places with extreme climates are simply more predisposed to war in my opinion. There is nothing as crippling to the progress as the hot humid days in the Carribbean part of Costa Rica mixed with devastating floods to make people angry as hell and with little recourse except depression or violent insurrection. Tropical weather is chill for awhile but then when you wanna get something done and the termites fucked it all up, what are you gonna do? Here's what, foment primordialist histories to give legitimacy to petty ethnic gripes and FUCK SHIT UP!
