Senator Blames Global Warming for Syrian Civil War, 4 Million Refugees

RUSH EXCERPT:
MERKELEY: "Do you see it as a national security issue?"
TAPPER: "I don't see it as the imminent national security threat that perhaps others do."
MERKELEY: "One of the things that's noted is how the changing climate in the Middle East concentrated Syrian villages into the towns and sparked the civil war that has now produced something like 4 million and counting refugees, having profound impacts on European securities. And that would be an example. Is that something you've looked at or considered to be real or perhaps misleading or any thoughts in that regard? 
TILLERSON: "The facts on the ground are indisputable in terms of what's a happening with drought, disease, insect populations, all the things you cite. The science behind the clear connection is not, is not conclusive. And there are many reports out there that we are unable yet to connect specific events to climate change alone."
