We need some of these alarmists to stand up and take one for the team.
Not according to the UN, who predicted 50 million climate refugees by 2010 (and then scrubbed the website when that didn’t happen).
It’s Deutsche Welle...”progressive” German news agency..

Neo-Lysenkoism rears it’s stupid ugly head...yet again.
”That’s not how this works.”
I used to wonder how the Rapture could happen and the world not take notice and start repenting. Now I know...
As 
would say, these are the jokes son. They were funny then, they are funny now.
As the Daleks shout in their harsh staccato voices, "Earth Overshoot Day — Earth Overshoot Day — ejaculate — ejaculate — you will be destroyed!"
Thomas Malthus. Please pick up the white phone.
Paging Thomas Malthus. Please call your office.

Not sure if perpetually “developing nations” get quotas.
