The real problem in those areas is Malthusian population growth. The time-honoured solution is horrible: <The CNA Corporation Military Advisory Board found that climate change-induced drought in the Middle East and Africa is leading to conflicts over food and water and escalating longstanding regional and ethnic tensions into violent clashes. > The climate is irrelevant. Climate is a given. There has not been a drought caused by CO2. On the contrary, there's less water needed with all that CO2. Temperatures are no higher than bygone decades [a negligible difference of 0.7 degrees over 100 years]. In recent decades, there has been almost no increase. The number of people and their political ideologies are their problem, not CO2. Keep in mind that military people, like all government departments, need lots of things to expand their bailiwick, so they are getting in on the CO2 opportunity to increase cash flow while the getting's good.
