US Secretary of State John Kerry’s thanked Israelis and Palestinians on Friday for helping his convoy make its way through the snow from Ramallah to Jerusalem after considerable snowfall paralyzed the area’s roads.
It took Kerry’s convoy “I don’t know how many hours” Thursday night to make its way from Ramallah to Jerusalem — ordinarily a 30-minute drive — and he praised Israeli and Palestinian efforts to clear a path for him.
“We’re very appreciative to the police forces of Israel and to the Palestinian effort, because the roads were very tough, and we were very fortunate to be able to get back,” he said.
According to Reuters, the secretary of state’s convoy had its path cleared “by a Palestinian front-end loader whose driver stuck his head out the door to see all the way from Ramallah” to the Israeli checkpoint, at which point Israeli police escorted Kerry to Jerusalem.
Kerry also expressed gratitude for the warm welcome he received in Israel as subzero (centigrade) temperatures gripped Israel’s higher elevations.…

…2013 conflict in Syria blamed on drought caused by global warming — Flashback 1933: ‘YO-YO BANNED IN SYRIA – Blamed For Drought By Moslems’
(Follow Climate Depot on Twitter)
As international tensions heat up over Syria, many global warming activists are trying to capitalize on the situation by blaming man-made global warming for the conflict. Specifically climate change promoters are blaming recent droughts on global warming.
How Climate Change Warmed Syria Up for War — Drought allegedly caused by global warming helped create conflict – ‘So this is our mess too. We’re still cranking away at the carbon pump, and no nation is as culpable as the U.S.’ — William Polk, an ex-US State Department advisor, has written a meticulously detailed account of the genesis of the conflict over at The Atlantic..
Warmist Claim: ‘How Climate Change Primed Syria for War’ — ‘Drought devastated the country from 2006 to 2011′ — ‘Climate change, however, is adding a new dynamic to the game. This is why the US military has identified climate change as a ‘threat multiplier’.
Bill Moyers Tweeted: ‘Climate change in Syria helped spark the civil war there. Which country is next?’ — Meteorologist Dr. Ryan Maue mocked Moyers: ‘Fighting global warming on par with terrorism and nuclear proliferation. WMD isn’t Sarin gas, it’s carbon dioxide’

Seeking the cause of droughts is Syria in not without historical precedent. In a January 23, 1933 news article, Yo Yo’s were banned in Syria because they were also “blamed for drought.” See: Have we progressed?! 2013: Warmists blame Syrian drought on man-made global warming — Flashback 1933: ‘YO-YO BANNED IN SYRIA – Blamed For Drought By Moslems’ — Real Science reaction: ‘In 1933, Syrian experts blamed drought on the use of Yo-Yos.
So it seems that every malady under the Sun is now blamed on global warming, the modern version of the Yo Yo attribution.
