Prince Charles links climate change to civil war in Syria

The Prince of Wales has said that climate change may have been one of the causes of the civil war in Syria.

The heir to the British throne has long been a passionate campaigner on environmental issues and linked the conflict which has left hundreds of thousands dead, created millions of refugees and seen the rise of IS, with drought in the Middle Eastern nation.

In the interview with Sky News, filmed before last week’s deadly Islamist terrorist attack in Paris that left 130 people dead, Charles talks about his belief that there are links between climate change and terrorism.
