National Academy Sciences and Islamic State

Canadian Security Intelligence Service: Yet as a new study suggests, the two are inexorably linked, according to Toronto Star. More specifically, the study — published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences — concludes that man-made climate change aggravated the four-year drought that spawned Syria civil war. Climate change is not. That the civil war, incidentally, that produced the Islamic State, a militant movement that the Conservative government calls a grievous threat to not just Canada but civilization itself. It is pushing through a bill that, among other things, would give the Canadian Security Intelligence Service extraordinary authority to break the law during its pursuit of perceived villains.
