climate change or lack of economic freedom?

There is a rumor that the Syrian crisis is being caused by climate change.
OK...sure...but there is more context than that.
Things change...right now around the world the price of oil has dropped and some nations are close to ruin because of that change.
CONTEXT
some nations can't take change because of rigid structures imposed by the government...
Syria has a socialistic economy...as does Venezuela...
That type of economy does not do well with change...
Why not? That is a long and short story...
mostly...government control prevents the reasonable allocation of the factors of production.

so...don't point the finger at weather when the real cause is bad government...

money would fix it...no food? buy food? to buy food you need money? how do you get money? TRADE
you must have something to sell...something other people value...
but government tends to stand in the way...taking a cut...and the cut finally reaches the bone and the heart and kills some people...
the right way to fix the world is to stop trying to fix it...get rid of all the obstacles to trade...the rules and regulations...the subsidies and price controls...the rewards for failure and the punishments for success.
