Climate change can be devastating no matter if it's getting hotter or colder.
For example, a warmer climate in the 16th century led to increased farming and population. This was followed by period of decreasing temperatures world-wide (sometimes called the Little Ice Age). A century of world-wide instability occurred at the same time, no doubt made worse by the increasing cold climate. A good book that describes the interlocking problems is "Global Crisis" by Geoffrey Parker.
Dr. Cole: You say "ISIL ... has taken 40% of the country." Is that 40% of the land area, 40% of the population, 40% of the oil, or what? I seems to me to make a difference.
Maybe someone can answer a question I have been wondering about for years. It seems to me that the CIA and Mossad must be all over Iran, and must know exactly what's going on. I read somewhere that the US has sensors planted all over the place. The alternative is that both agencies are incompetent in the extreme.
So my question is: Since no one adds this to the picture, what am I missing?
