Syrian drought

With all the civil unrest and wars in the Middle East there has been considerable debate as to whether climate change has played a part and in particular the drought in Syria. The illustration shows the prediction for the whole of the Mediterranean region for the end of the century and there is a huge reduction in rainfall.
With sea levels already rising faster than predicted, a 50% reduction in Arctic sea ice, a 30% increase in ocean acidity and many weather patterns already changing and noted climate change has already started.
Why would we not see the start of the Middle East drying and land that was productive no longer able to support farming?

Some Islands are already suffering from sea level rise, and it will only get worse, I'm sure refugee's will need placement in the not too distant future, that will certainly affect the land of the long white cloud.

This excellent series of videos made by NIWA covers it on the question of sea level rise . . .

New video series on climate change featuring Dr. David Wratt . .
