"Climate change and the Syrian civil war revisited" is an important and necessary corrective to an emerging discourse that climate change is primarily to blame for the massive humanitarian and geopolitical catastrophe that has become the Syrian Civil War. Hendrix refocuses scholarly attention on tracing causal paths between climate forcings and conflict outcomes, especially in the context of particular cases. The study by Kelley, Mohtadi, Cane, Seager, and Kushnir (2015), the critique of which motivates much of this article, made a strong and convincing argument for a climate change signal in the Syrian drought but did very little to substantiate the stronger, much more politically charged claim that the drought caused the conflict there.
