4.7 Reading: Climate change and the Syrian civil war revisited

 

What flaws do the authors highlight in relation to sub-theses underpinning claims linking climate change with the Syrian civil war?

The authors bluntly disagreed with the claims submitted by the sub-theses that human activities in releasing greenhouses actually connects with the drought in Syria, they argued that this drought never caused the massive migration of people, neither the migration itself was the cause of the Syria civil war. The authors therefore described all these claims as errors and need to be investigated further, or except if there have been emerging proofs, otherwise the Syria civil war was not connected to the claimed climate change impact of the drought. The writers suggested that the claims by the UN secretary Ban Ki moon is rather the opposite, as they deemed that the claimers could have mentioned political and economic situations as influencers to the Darfur War. To conclude if have the feeling that the writers may not have any believe that climate change war is yet to occur.

Why is it deemed important to scrutinize claims?

Many think tankers, reliable and dependable researcher and institutions all argued in the similar views and directions, claiming that the Syria civil war has great connection and linkage to human induced climate change effect. The writers seem doubtful because of previous speculations made by same commentators in relation to the Darfur War that as linked with climate change impact of drought and ecological stress. But other critics also found out that it was as well never based on scientific evidence and lacked the clarity that shows evidence of the human activities that induced the climate change.
