- Go to Violence in Darfur??? Why, It's Caused By Global Warming,..........
Ban Ki is an idiot. Whether or not global warming is an actuality doesn't
matter here. And the increasing desertification of sub-Saharan Sahel Africa is a problem, but hardly proof of global warming. Nor can either be used as the genesis of the wholesale slaughter of hundreds of thousands of people, some estimates reaching as high as two million, which is due mainly to ethnic and tribal polarization and the Muslim central government's war on the civilian non-Muslim populations. Millions have been displaced. Christians are only a small portion of those being killed. Most are traditional tribesmen and animists.
Back to the point. If Ban Ki wishes to drum up support for global warming, he needs to not make it a two-for-one sale with Darfur.

I understand that underneath the conflict was poverty, shortages of
everything caused by drought which was caused by global warming or climate change. Have you ever noticed that other drivers get much more hostile when the temperature hits 90 degrees? I guess global warming also causes road rage...

Corbin: The United Nations becomes more of a joke every day. It's politically incorrect to criticize Muslims. That horrible Islamic government is the cause of the slaughter. I know one person who probably agrees with the U.N. Secretary General: that sexy U.N. Ambassador that we all know and love: Angelina Jolie. After all, she is saving one child at a time.

Too bad he forgot the other important reason for global warming and hence the Darfur disaster - the hot air emanating from his UN office...
