First Politifact and now Factcheck.org goes after Bernie Sanders on climate change and terrorism

2. And yet President Obama has long said such a link exists. Guess he's getting smacked down too?

Instability brought on by climate change, Obama said, is what creates an environment for terrorism.
"They don’t have a lot of margin for error, and that has national security implications. When people are hungry, when people are displaced, when there are a lot of young people, particularly young men, who are drifting without prospects for the future, the fertility of the soil for terrorism ends up being significant," Obama said, "and it can have an impact on us."

He also said that climate change can lead to wars by fostering conflict over resources.

"Entire countries can be finding themselves unable to feed themselves, and the potential incidence of conflict that arises out of that — that gets your attention," Obama said. "It’s not just the actual disasters that might arise, it is the accumulating stresses that are placed on a lot of different countries and the possibility of war, conflict, refugees, displacement that arise from a changing climate.”

You fail to recognize our own Party's policies when Bernie speaks them.
