CBS News blames global warming for causing the rise of the Taliban

It seems likely that, to get a job as a reporter or editor at a national news organization like CBS an applicant must show at least some evidence of having studied … something.

As an aside, the writer and her editors might want to reflect on the fact that Afghanistan is a natural desert, with less than an eighth of its area comprising arable land, and only 30% of that actually farmed — they herd sheep instead,

They might also want to consider that the country was deforested over the centuries, the trees going up in smoke as fuel. Only a 12-year-old special-needs scribbler could overlook the effects of denuding a land and instead blame global warming for the ensuing catastrophe.
