The Climate Challenge: Syrians Devastated By Environmental And Health Impacts Of Oil And War
War is destructive, but arming rebels and terrorists is okay.
They're suffering mostly from US sanctions.
This is still a very good report from Syria! It’s always heartbreaking though. I have read a lot of stuff about their civil war situation. They are like Belarus and Russia with super difficult people as their dictators in national leaderships. It’s just difficult! Period!
Yes because climate change is exactly what you worry about in a warzone
The United States of America supports terrorists in Syria to achieve its strategic interests in stealing Syrian oil and besieging the Syrian people, in order to ensure the security of Israel. America is the number one sponsor of all terrorists in the world.
Now that is a problem. Never mind the pandemic.
What makes me happy
How about you talk about your filthy u.s country and how they're stealing it
It seems like it's war that is destroying that country more than anything else I don't think climate has anything to do with all those people killing themselves on a daily basis.
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted".
(Matthew 23 NIV)
You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
"If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land."
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
This, then, is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
"Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway", we can use google search.
These are the teachings,
The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
REPENT, and start doing what is right.
If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples; then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
A time is coming and has now come, that the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth. God is Spirit, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and Truth; they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
In the New Heaven and New Earth,
only Righteousness dwells.
May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.
This is what our greed for oil is doing to countries like Syria, we all should be ashamed with ourselves. We have continue to push for green energy, this must not continue.
And the looting of there oil and grains by the you.
The US is OCCUPYING these oil fields. This is why it’s under bad management and why 80%+ of Syrians are in an oil CRISIS
Right…yet the US military is occupying the land that holds 90% of Syria's oil.
Of course the USA military won't answer and won't give a response. Claiming it's too expensive?
America did this. Ruined their country and just don't care to fix it. Claiming it'll cost more, more than a war and lives?
Get these people out of that area, period!! Excuse me the cost is already to high in human lives!!ðŸ™ÂðŸ™Â
All to fill the tank of stupid high gas mileage SUV
The oil is being controlled by Americans.
If we defund the police we might have enough money for a clean up in Syria
All the major car companies should chip in. To clean this up!
