[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 1926177, member: 45230"] Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders doubled down on the link between terrorism and climate change Sunday in defense of his stance that global warming presents the greatest national security threat to the United States. "If we are going to see an increase in drought, in flood, and extreme weather disturbances as a result of climate change, what that means is that people all over the world are going to be fighting over limited natural resources," the Vermont senator said Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation," elaborating on an arugment he made during the CBS News [URL='http://www.cbsnews.com/news/democratic-debate-sanders-and-omalley-keep-clinton-on-defense/']Democratic debate[/URL] Saturday night. "If there is not enough water, if there is not enough land to grow your crops, then you're going to see migrations of people fighting over land that will sustain them. And that will lead to international conflict." Pressed by moderator John Dickerson over the explicit link between a drought and the [URL='http://www.cbsnews.com/news/paris-attacks-identifications-and-arrests-start-piling-up/']Paris attacks[/URL] this weekend, Sanders took the connection one step further. "When people migrate into cities and they don't have jobs, there's going to be a lot more instability, a lot more unemployment, and people will be subject to the types of propaganda that al Qaeda and [URL='http://www.cbsnews.com/isis/']ISIS[/URL] are using right now," he said [URL]http://www.cbsnews.com/news/bernie-sanders-doubles-down-climate-change-terrorism-link/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
