Global Warming - War, Syria, Drought

The Cornell Daily Sun: Global warming and war
But nowhere has the punishment of climate change been harsher than in Syria. For three years Syria experienced a heavy drought.

Yes I agree, but throw into the mix a drought and Syria is exponentially worse, if that's possible. California has far more resources to work with including a stable government, one that only has only a tiny tiny radical religious element as opposed to Syria where extremism is dominant. The fear is that Syria is just the prototype of this sort of massive societal decay. And given what we know, why wouldn't more societies fall to unworkable as the planet heats up. Asia is very vulnerable.
