Just when you thought the global warming crisis was petering out due to lack of interest, we learn that it is causing the ongoing genocide in Nigeria. From the United Nations:

Over the past decade, conflict between communities has claimed countless lives in Nigeria’s lush Middle Belt region and displaced an estimated half a million people in Benue State alone. Similar clashes are playing out across the Sahel region as climate change disrupts traditional livelihoods and intensifies competition for dwindling supplies of water and productive land.

A report released [last year] by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, in collaboration with research partners, examines the intersection between climate change, conflict and forced displacement. It warns that more frequent extreme weather can aggravate tensions and weaken social cohesion, intensifying the root causes of conflict and instability.

Let’s see if Nigerian Christians agree that it is the weather that has been killing them off in alarming numbers, or if they might suspect a different cause — namely Islam:

Justice G Danjuma, an evangelist for the Remnant Christian Network in Nigeria’s Taraba State, … said the attacks in his region are “overwhelmingly driven by religious animosity.” He added that the majority of Nigerian Christians “reject the climate change narrative pushed by Western media,” and many regard this narrative as “deeply offensive and misleading.”

Survivors of attacks struggle to understand how climate change would cause people to “burn churches, kill pastors, and massacre worshipers during Christmas or Palm Sunday services,” said Danjuma.

Climate change may also cause the government to impose strict gun control on Christians while allowing Muslims to brandish AK-47s. Global warming has a similar effect in US cities like New York, where law-abiding prisoners are prevented from defending themselves while armed hooligans terrorize them with the tacit consent of liberal authorities, free from the inconvenience of stop and frisk.

Those suffering from climate anxiety can rest assured that the weather will knock off with the bloodshed in Nigeria as soon as all Christians have been eradicated.
