Clueless high-flying, mansion-dwelling left-winger Thomas Friedman suggests that carbon dioxide caused Arab Spring

The Other Arab Spring - NYTimes.com

The Arab awakening was driven not only by political and economic stresses, but, less visibly, by environmental, population and climate stresses as well...Well, you may not be interested in climate change, but climate change is interested in you.

Folks, this is not a hoax. We and the Arabs need to figure out — and fast — more ways to partner to mitigate the environmental threats where we can and to build greater resiliency against those where we can’t. Twenty years from now, this could be all that we’re talking about.

You know he may be right, indirectly. Climate change did not create the problems but climate change alleviation in the for of biofuel production did raise the price of grains that led to protests on food prices and ultimately a series of revolutions. So the omnipotent EPA, which has made DoE irrelevant may soon do the same to branches of the State Dept. and CIA.
