A recent bbc article discuses a published study claiming that "climate change is not responsible for civil wars in Africa". The mentioned study "challenges previous assumptions that environmental disasters, such as drought and prolonged heat waves, had played a part in triggering unrest. Instead, the study says that "traditional factors - such as poverty and social tensions - were often the main factors behind the outbreak of conflicts." Now maybe there is no need to seperate these factors. Maybe the "climate changes" responsibly and "poverty" and social tentions are more related then this article, and the study, give credit to. I would make reference to another study: The debt of nations and the distribution of ecological impacts from human activities.
