The book “Tropic of Chaos” by Christian Parenti about Climate Change and the new geography of violence is an eye opener about how recent radical weather has cause mass migration and violence around the world

The Journal of Applied Meteorolog­y finds El-Nino surface sea temperatur­es are the main reason for the changes in annual rainfall in northeast Brazil

That area is expected to experience more rapid warming than the global average during the 21st century

The projected temperatur­e increase for this century ranges from one to six degrees with a severe water stress by 2050

“In northern Mexico, a primary source of immigratio­n to Arizona, soil is eroding from the decline in precipitat­ion and studies predict that the regional rain fall, could decrease by 70 percent by the century’s end,” Parenti writes in his book

Similar problems exist in Peru, Africa, and the Middle East

Ninety seven percent of the world’s climatolog­ists now agree unless air pollution by fossil fuels is addressed by everyone in the world, water wars are next Hopefully, everyone in the world has had their fill of any kind of war

Several recent wars have produced nothing by devastatio­n, more hatred, and a shameful waste of lives and money
