[QUOTE="eclipsenow, post: 77653651, member: 274355"] The way you asserted it so boldly I assumed there had been some investigative journalism expose that revealed some credible claims and sources. Is this is your hypothesis? I have removed the Syrian civil war as a specific example from the OP, and just put in the general "Threat Multiplier" explanation. Meanwhile - this next article from The Conversation analyses the risks of instability in Australia. The greatest risks are infrastructure damage and how that plays out in the population. But it has an interesting perspective on the supposedly inevitable 'water wars' long discussed in climate change books.
