"Climate change and terror are connected by a common source: the greed for fossil fuels without fostering liberal democracy"

In current times, Climate change and Terrorism are the two most pressing issues in front of us. Though it seems overstretched to draw any parallel between these two but reality is that both are correlated in one way or the other. From very start of the modern world history fossil fuel has been the backbone of the the developed world we see today. But this development has shown some dark facets to current generation and has the potential to keep on haunting our coming generations too. Powerful nations and early industrialized nations have harnessed the rich resource of the Earth for their own greed and that too neglecting its impact on climate. Fossil fuel for example has proved to be the major bone of contention among the rich nations and had shown the ability to change the geopolitics of the world. While there had not been any mistake by using fossil fuel in past or in a more just way even today, but using the state which owns the resource politically is wrong. Oil rich countries have been manipulated by every means by the nations interested disregarding the local people and politics which has resulted in mass uprisings and civil wars our world has seen so far in middle east and adjoining regions. This has led to turbulence in the concerned region/country and hence given opportunity for terror outfits to grow and later govern. Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan are the live example of how short term goals have been set on radar but long term goals like climate change has been largely put under the blanket.

Therefore the need of the hour is to move our dependency from Fossil fuel in long run by technology and research and also developed world should stop the Greed Game and set the example for future generations to come.
