      Country "A" has no Water because of Climate Change.
      Country "B" their Neighbor has Water but Refuses to Share.
      Country "A" could let their People Die a Slow Death of Thirst.
      Or? Country "A" could "Go Postal", i Mean their Situation is only a matter of Life & Death.

        Hannity is clearly right .... Countries always get along and work things out amicably.

        Think we've seen terrorism? Just wait til people go hungry due to ethanol production.

      Humans will go to war over practically anything. My favorite?

      The War of Jenkin's Ear.

      Hannity, as usual, is showing his stupidity.

        People have long gone to war when food and other natural resources become scarce.

        Hannity is a simpleton addressing an audience of simple minds.

          >>>People have long gone to war when food and other natural resources become scarce.

          Or when simple greed kicks in.

          How many invasions have begun during human history by "A" saying to "B" - "Say, that open land/free labor supply/water/timber/mineral deposits looks awfully good. Think I'll come over and grab some"?

            Some wars end up including some loftier ideas being fought for, WWII, the Revolutionary War, but most of them, at their core, start out for the same reasons dogs fight over a bone.

            Hannity, like most right wing chickenhawks, has invested a lot in glamorizing war, framing them all as a battle between good and evil, with the U.S. always on you-know-which side.

            War is just an amplified version of professional sports for dimwits like Hannity, a way for people with no imagination or purpose to feel a part of something greater than they'll ever really be.

            ps: I don't mean that as a jab against sports fans in general, but some of the more obsessed and passionate fans strike me the same way. Like Hannity, they're losers looking for a victory they can claim for themselves, with somebody else doing all of the work.

      It's already been shown that some countries go to war over nothing at all.

      Iraq.

      Need I say more?

      hannity you cannot even pretend to discredit climate change by waging personal attacks and ive met right wing bloggers who are better at waging personal attacks than you.

      We have fought over everything else throughout history. What makes "our" environment any different? If China's pollution started effecting Japan, or vice versa, I could see war.

      Yeah, well, considering that you essentially have nothing higher than a high school education and rarely say anything of consequence, I'm probably going to believe the folks who actually study this sort of thing and know what they're talking about. You don't.
