Rob, don’t be such a maroon. You are going to see a lot more wars fought over water as supplies dwindle. Even if you take global warming out of the picture- population strain, deforestation, and pollution all lead to a fresh water crisis. People aren’t going to hold hands, singing Kumbaya as crops fail, and their children go thirsty.

This is the most outragious, racist, Colonialist, offensive study I have seen. Aparently, the algorithm that identifies the behaviour of Africans (read “blacks”) cannot include creativity, cooperation, mutual respect or diplomacy. If we are so desperate to defend action on global warming that we need studies like this to support our cause, we are in big trouble. Let global warming mitigation stand on climate science, not crap like this.

It’s funny, Discover ran an article about a year ago that posited more wars took place in Asia during periods of cooling, because it caused lower crop yields and competition for food.
