It was the Irish that inflicted Catholicism on the poor craters.
It might not have been the time to bring up the issue, and insensitive to the victims, but there might be some accuracy to Michael D Higgin’s ideas.
>”The data supports that both Nigeria and Pakistan are experiencing mounting temperatures
and diminishing rainfall. They both are falling victim to more frequent and more varied natural
disasters. This creates a vicious cycle of natural resource depletion, forced migration, and
unemployment, which is exacerbated by their agriculture-reliant economies. Climatic shifts also
have secondary repercussions such as famine and sickness. The state institutions do not have the
monetary or infrastructural support to aid their citizens, or they engage in intrastate conflicts that
further worsen the citizen’s sentiment towards its institutions. **This mayhem creates an opening
for terrorism to develop and occur.**”

Climate Change as a Contributor to Terrorism: A Case Study in Nigeria and …
President Higgins statement was obnoxious and incredibly insulting the the victims. He said that blaming the murderers would be “scapegoating” . Don’t blame the killers, or ISIS, or Islamic extremism, or terrorism, or gun violence, or religious hatred. No, blame climate change because the killers are victims too and climate change made them do it. What a twit and embarrassment.
Higgins was a moron to bring climate change into this. It was a terrorist atrocity, evil people murdered innocents, stick to that and keep more abstract ruminations for another time.
