How stupid does a person have to be to believe that? It is just as ignorant and uninformed as a person can get. Just as stupid as any member of the Church of AGW. I don't know how anyone can consider this guy a credible candidate. That is cuz you are sane.

How dumb does a person have to be to not believe it? France warns of security risks caused by global warming Climate and international security are closely linked, says French foreign minister in the run-up to landmark UN climate change conference in Paris Defence ministers of neighbouring Chad and Niger described the growing desertification of Africa’s Sahel region as a multiplier of threats. Photograph: Andy Hall for the Observer Associated Press Wednesday 14 October 2015 10.38 EDT A UN conference on climate in Paris this year will also be a “conference for peace”, given that global warming threatens the world’s security, a top French official said on Wednesday. Government officials from several African and island nations gathered in Paris on Wednesday to discuss the implications of climate change for defense issues. “Climate and international security are closely linked,” French foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, said. Major droughts, floods and famines force people to migrate and “increase the risk of conflicts”, he said. In addition, making the transition to renewable energy sources will help ease power struggles over the control of oil and natural gas resources, Fabius added. Defence ministers of neighbouring Chad and Niger described the growing desertification of Africa’s Sahel region as a multiplier of threats especially in the troubled Lake Chad region, which is facing frequent attacks by the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram. Mahamadou Karidjo, Niger’s defence minister, said his government’s main concern was “to ensure that Nigerian people don’t starve to death” amid climate changes. Haitian defence minister, Lener Renauld, stressed the importance of curbing global warming. His Caribbean island is particularly vulnerable to climatic-related events. “I’m convinced that for this planet, there’s no plan B,” he said. France is host a major UN climate change conference from 30 November to 11 December. theguardian.com
