Latest Climate Change Crazy: Raid on Village By Remote Tribe Caused by Climate Change

The next thing you know the global warming folks are going to blame the NY Jets lousy season on their failed hypotheses. The latest claim (reported in Al Jazeera) says that climate change may be forcing uncontacted tribes in Peru (you know the kind you see in National Geographic specials) to move and raid other villages.

A group of about 200 men from the uncontacted Mashco-Piro tribe, armed with bows and arrows, arrived in the community of Monte Salvado on Thursday, according to Survival International, an indigenous rights group. The men raided the village, taking weapons and destroying the homes.

Most of the villagers, members of the Yine tribe, were in the regional capital of Puerto Maldonado for local elections during the incident, but about 55 Yine members had taken refuge in a guard post and would be evacuated on Tuesday, Patricia Balbuena, Peru’s vice-minister of intercultural affairs, told the Guardian.

Although there has been a series of incidents that saw members of uncontacted tribes emerging from the jungles in small numbers in recent years, the size of the all-male group that raided Monte Salvado was unusual, officials said according to the Guardian.

“We’ve never heard reported such a large movement of uncontacted people,” Lorena Prieto, director of Peru’s office of Peoples in Isolation and Initial Contact, told the Guardian. Prieto was helping to coordinate the evacuation.

Villages have been attacking their neighbors ever since mankind came down from the trees and began to walk upright. But as you know our friends in the global warming community are taking this one incident and assuming it a trend and that it is caused by climate change.  Actually in this case they believe its caused by global cooling.

Balbuena said climate change may have triggered the latest incident, as it has caused abrupt drops in temperatures in that area of the southeast Amazon. 

As world meets in Lima to negotiate global climate treaty, native groups say global warming threatens food security.

Okay if they natives are moving from global cooling, why is food security being threatened by global warming?

Later on it says:

Forests naturally store, or sequester, carbon emissions that cause global warming. When forests are cut down, not only is the carbon no longer being sequestered by the trees, their removal leads to increased carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Deforestation accounts for over half of Peru’s greenhouse gas emissions, according to government data.

See what I mean? I thought their theory says greenhouse gasses cause global warming?

It seems as if the global warming folks try and throw anything against the wall and see if it sticks. They don't even care if their argument has a consistent logical thread.
