Secretary General Ban Ki Moon should be above this sort of silliness. In an editorial today he blames the genocide in Sudan on global warming. This is irresponsible on two fronts. First, it absolves Sudanese of responsibility to respect their neighbors. Are Sudanese so uncivilized that they are excused from killing because of drought? Second, it is absurd to believe that human activity is responsible for the desertification of the Sahel, a process that has been going on for the last 5,000 years.
