Following the [COP21](https://greenlivingguy.com/2015/12/eiffel-tower-lights-up-for-cop21-climate-conference/)
summit kickoff on Monday, Bill Nye joined HuffPost Live and explained how terrorist
attacks, like those executed in Paris earlier this month, are “the result of” climate
change.

Nye’s reasoning hinges on a water shortage in Syria, which researchers have blamed
on climate change. As Nye explained, the shortage has stunted farming and pushed
young people to look for work in more densely populated areas.

**[Nye](https://greenlivingguy.com/2016/02/world-energy-council-announces-new-partnership-with-arup/)**:“
Young people have gone to big cities looking for work. There’s not enough work for
everybody, so the disaffected youths, as we say — the young people who don’t believe
in the system, believe the system has failed, don’t believe in the economy — are
more easily engaged and more easily recruited by terrorist organizations, and then
they end up part way around the world in Paris shooting people.”

**Nye**: “You can make a very reasonable argument that climate change is not that
indirectly related to terrorism… This is just the start of things. The more we let[
climate change] go on, the more trouble there’s going to be.”

I also reported that the Global campaigning organization Avaaz joined the event.
All to represent over 3.6 million people.  All who have signed a petition calling
for a 100% clean energy world. Finally, Executive Director Ricken Patel said: “From
millions of people in the streets, to [leaders](https://greenlivingguy.com/2012/03/united-nations-creates-position-dedicated-to-environment/)
in summit rooms, to experts from all disciplines.  Because everyone is calling for
one clear answer.  I mean the only answer!! That’s to resolve climate change toward
a transition to 100% clean energy. Paris must commit to it.”
