#5  As far as I can tell, mossomo, Shafaq News is based in Iraq. Mostly I’ve been ignoring weather reports, which seem to universally alternate between drought and flood, with heatwaves, dust storms and the occasional moderate earthquake tucked in here and there. I just thought the movement of the camel herds would be amusing.

Blaming it on global warming is indeed a play to get money from hysterical Westerners. But I recall my father mentioning in passing having to use the currently fashionable key words in research grant proposals to increase the odds of getting the things approved back in the early ‘70s.

#1  Once climate change is 'settled science', it can be wrapped into nearly any change.

You want your study funded? Get 'climate change' included in the title.
