Tesla's CEO says the Volkswagen scandal is minor compared with carbon dioxide emissions.
Elon Musk, co-founder of electric carmaker Tesla Motors, warned on Thursday that climate change will spark a refugee crisis of catastrophic proportions if no action is taken.
In a speech in Berlin, the Tesla chief executive said Europe's current wave of people seeking asylum, prompted mostly by political violence, will be dwarfed as fresh water becomes scarce, food supplies become insecure and weather changes in the coming decades.
"Today's refugee problem is perhaps a small indication of what the future will be like if we do not take action with respect to climate change," Musk told an audience at Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. "Today, the challenge is in terms of millions of people, but in the future, based on what the scientific consensus is, the problem will be in the hundreds of millions and much more severe."
Volkswagen's ongoing scandal over cheating on nitrogen oxide emissions tests on its diesel vehicles is a troubling, Musk said, but it's a small issue compared with the problem of overall carbon dioxide emissions.

Didn’t he get the memo? We are to understand that today’s refugee problem is due to climate change, just like every other problem.
Hey Elon, I’ll give you 50 cents on the dollar for your waterfront property.
That was my first thought. I like what Musk is doing in the space industry, but he is letting everyone know he is willing to play ball.
Obama and his cronies and setting up for the Paris Global Warming party
Climate change is a hoax.
But I do think we haven’t been doing much planning for fresh water resources in regard to population growth. And that could bite us.
