Climate Change “Could Spark African Civil Wars”
From BelfastTelegraph.com:
Climate change could increase the likelihood of civil war in sub-Saharan Africa by 50% within the next 20 years, leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths, it has been claimed.
Researchers at Stanford University in California combined historical data on civil wars with rainfall and temperature records across Africa.
They found that between 1980 and 2002, civil wars were significantly more likely to break out in warmer than average years. A 1C increase in temperature in a given year increased the incidence of conflict by almost 50%.
This trend was then applied to future projections from 20 global climate simulations. The results suggested that the incidence of African civil wars could increase by 55% by 2030, causing an estimated 390,000 extra conflict-related deaths.
Economist Professor Edward Miguel, one of the US researchers from the University of California at Berkeley, said: “The large majority of the poor in most African countries depend on agriculture for their livelihoods, and their crops are quite sensitive to small changes in temperature. So when temperatures rise, the livelihoods of many in Africa suffer greatly, and the disadvantaged become more likely to take up arms.”

As opposed to what exactly!?
not only with what money are they going to buy these weapons, but who are they going to fight? most times wars are set up by corporate interest who bribe some greedy afrikan politicians or other individuals interested in living it up who act as the comprador for the high stakes american/european hustlers. i call these impressionable greedy afrikan muthasuckas the mercedes benz set, any kind of money is good for them. they don’t care if so many lives have to be lost long as they get theirs.
it’s never the average/poor afrikan who gets up in the morning and goes to fight his neighbor. there is alwasy someone else behind it. and it’s never for the best interest of the poor person being manipulated.
think about that.
this info comes from a researcher @ Stanford in Cali *smh*
yes sir yes sir
know that THAT fact is stated let’s do some more math
1 Rebels in Africa
+
1 Russian guns
__
= Ill/Legal arms dealing -AKA- Aid the Genocide of Africa since Benito Mussolini, A.I.D.S. being injected N Africans, Oppressed Starvation and Raping the Land of Natural Resources didn’t do a good enough job
If these countries are so POOR where and with what money are they gettin their guns and ammunition from?
Do those poor azz kkkracks all across europe and russia take up arms and fight each other cuz most of them depend on africas resources to live. And the AK 47 is a russian made rifle
