UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said that the slaughter in Darfur was triggered by global climate change and that more such conflicts may be on the horizon, in an article published Saturday.

“The Darfur conflict began as an ecological crisis, arising at least in part from climate change,” Ban said in a Washington Post opinion column.

UN statistics showed that rainfall declined some 40 percent over the past two decades, he said, as a rise in Indian Ocean temperatures disrupted monsoons.

“This suggests that the drying of sub-Saharan Africa derives, to some degree, from man-made global warming,” the South Korean diplomat wrote.

“It is no accident that the violence in Darfur erupted during the drought,” Ban said in the Washington daily.

When Darfur’s land was rich, he said, black farmers welcomed Arab herders and shared their water, he said.

With the drought, however, farmers fenced in their land to prevent overgrazing.

“For the first time in memory, there was no longer enough food and water for all. Fighting broke out,” he said.

Oh for crying out loud in the man-made rain.

Another example of how the reality-deniers will intentionally ignore the real cause of a disaster and replace it with some other more P.C. menace. In this case, substituting fictitious manmade global warming in place of all-too-real Muslim-Arab supremacism. Other examples include SUV amplified hurricanes, CIA demolition squads in the twin towers, etc. Muslims were killing each other and everyone else in Sudan long before the automobile.

Imagine if someone tried to excuse the slaughter and displacement of the Native American people’s by European imperialists, faulting instead the little ice age gripping Europe during much of the last millennium. It would never fly. Partly because the Europeans were white and noone in that time period could get rich by blaming them for the weather. But mostly because it doesn’t make a lick of sense.

Another thing. If Econazi-general Ban Ki-moonbat thinks this is the first famine in sub-saharan Africa in memory, then he may want to get checked for Alzheimer’s disease. Long ago, the Sahara was an oasis. The desert we now find there has been expanding since humans were still swinging around in trees. Or should I say, before most humans grew out of it.
