Recently a new video from Osama bin Laden was released blaming the United States (and other industrialized countries) for climate change. He also called for a boycott on American goods. But are Al-Qaeda really concerned for the environment, or is it just an excuse to rally people against the United States? It is doubtful that the world would follow his intructions, but hopefully it doesn't deter people (Americans) from being concerned for the environment and climate change because Osama bin Laden says so.
What is happening in Afghanistan and in Iraq is terrifying. What is even more scary is that Al-Qaeda and terrorists are apparently (pretending to be?) as concerned about the environment as anybody else, and the change in their message is unnerving. I don't know much else to say other than that I hope people don't go against his message for the fact that it was coming from an anti-American terrorist, and hopefully people will still make efforts to reverse climate change.
