One of the main reasons for the conflict in Syria, and the terrorism that it's spawned, is climate change and drought.

. . . a jostling scrum of office buildings so mediocre that the only way you ever remember them is by the frustration they induce - like a basketball team standing shoulder to shoulder between you and the Mona Lisa.
