'Clueless high-flying, mansion-dwelling left-winger Thomas Friedman suggests that carbon dioxide caused Arab Spring,' Tom Nelson

Tom, you as a NY Times employee are just doing the UN's rap for them as your fellow employee did in Feb. 2011. UN raps are pretty standard, ie, demonize and get money from the US taxpayer:

• 2/15/11, "Climate Change Drives Instability, U.N. Official [Figueres] Warns," NY Times, Green, John M. Broder

"The United Nations’ top climate change official said on Tuesday that food shortages and rising prices caused by climate disruptions were among the chief contributors to the civil unrest coursing through North Africa and the Middle East....She warned that unless nations took aggressive action to reduce emissions causing global warming such conflicts would spread, toppling governments and driving up military spending around the world."...

----------------------------

Those in the game knew ethanol would cause food shortages, starvation, death and a breakdown in civil order. 'Entrepreneurs' and politicians engaged in a business practice they knew would cause death. Some are still doing it or at least promoting it.

4/8/12, "The Other Arab Spring" - NYTimes.com, Tom Friedman, via Tom Nelson

"The Arab awakening was driven not only by political and economic stresses, but, less visibly, by environmental, population and climate stresses as well...Well, you may not be interested in climate change, but climate change is interested in you.

Folks, this is not a hoax. We and the Arabs need to figure out — and fast — more ways to partner to mitigate the environmental threats where we can and to build greater resiliency against those where we can’t. Twenty years from now, this could be all that we’re talking about."

4/23/2008, "Tom Friedman pied at Brown University for being a Greenmailer"

"Thomas Friedman, the author and NY Times columnist, was invited to Brown University to give a keynote speech on Earth Day, before a packed auditorium. His talk, titled "Green is the new Red White and Blue" was about how corporate environmentalism (based on putting a price on the atmosphere, and investing in biofuels and techno-fixes) can restore America to its "natural place in the global order." Luckily, this outrageous neoliberal capitalist propaganda was interrupted with a suprise visit from the Greenwash Guerrillas. Leaflets were thrown to the crowd."...

================

In any case, 3 top UN 'climate' bosses (one of which is Figueres who blamed mid-east civil disorder on CO2, above) freely admit the 'climate' issue has nothing to do with climate, rather is a 'societal transformation' in which billions are transferred to the UN--no strings, no oversight, complete immunity even for murder--as with all UN dealings.

-----------------------------------------

If Tom Friedman 'cared,' he could work toward getting ethanol promoters put in jail for attempted murder. Failing that, if he's concerned that savages in Arab countries don't take care of their resources, he's free to go over there and confer about how to best use the $1.5 billion US taxpayer dollars they just scored. He can even give them some of his own money. I don't know why anyone would want to give a dime to a brutal culture that performs female genital mutilations and public stonings to death for adultery but Friedman apparently isn't bothered by that.
