What a way to start off a Monday:
Climate change behind Darfur killing: UN's Ban
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said that the slaughter in Darfur was triggered by global climate change and that more such conflicts may be on the horizon, in an article published Saturday.
"The Darfur conflict began as an ecological crisis, arising at least in part from climate change," Ban said in a Washington Post opinion column.
Look right past the fact that it is PEOPLE killing PEOPLE, and the fact that allegedly this global warming is happening everywhere, but I've not felt a sudden urge to rise up and commit genocide. The complete absurdity of this argument astounds me. The UN, who won't send in peacekeeping forces, would rather claim that its a 'larger' problem, one that should be met and dealt with by carbon caps and hybrid cars. That anyone could rise up in front of a global audience, citing the authority of the largest international governing body in the world, and to claim this without laughing at the audacity of it is beyond me.

I know. I saw this, too.
I guess they are making an attempt to make global warming seem more sinister? with more visible effects?
Still, the fact that this propaganda is being trumpeted from the highest seats in the UN is a little tiring.
