A Sept. 4th New York Times article claimed that migrants on the Texas border were dying from the effects of climate change. The story said extreme temperatures contributed to the deaths of 10 people, with another 45 people forced to flee. The story did not say how many others have become refugees due to climate change, but it’s time for the world to identify them...
The term “refugees” should apply to all people displaced due to climate change.
But under international law, a refugee is a person who has crossed an international border and claims he or she can’t return home because of a well-founded fear of persecution on racial, religious, or other social grounds (1951 Convention 0n the Status of Refugees: Article 1}
People displaced by climate change impacts can’t apply to be treated as a refugees (sic). The international community needs to add a new classification of climate-created refugees because policy and legal adjustments are needed to manage millions of people who will flee the devastating impact of climate change in their regions...
The Army War College also identified three countries in Central America, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador as vulnerable to climate change induced destabilization.
Climate change impacts will continue to create refugees around the world in increasing numbers. We can expect rising sea levels, glacial melting, and changes in precipitation, which causes flooding and drought. We also will see increases in extreme weather, unbearable heat waves, wildfires, the intensity of tropical storms, degradation of ecological systems, and of carbon sinks including forests. plants, and the acidification of oceans.

Shhhh. Don't give the MIC and their paid for politicians any ideas.

No fooling. I fled the US to Honduras. I own two beachfront houses. One of them is only 28 feet from the high tide line. The other one is 50 feet away.
The high temperature is no higher than when Trump was in office and the low temperature is no lower. The sea level is no higher than when Obama lowered the oceans.
The ex-pat community keeps growing every year.
Climate refugees? My Schumer they are.

The horror of climate catastrophe. And yet people continue to flock to those destinations on vacations.
What about the people who die from heat stroke in the U.S. every year?
So prior to climate change, I guess it was just coincidence that these same countries were unstable? Stupid.
Migrants should also be called moving targets. Now does it also mean that globull warming also means we should in bare Brazil over the Amazon deforestation? Or nuke out China for their coal electric plants too ??
Climate change doesn’t occur where there are White people. Climate change most affects diverse lesbians of color in third world countries.
(I know this is a silly post. Just wanted to point out how insane liberals have become.)
Isn’t climate change happening here, too?
How do you flee climate change if it’s the whole planet?
Okay, I have a solution. Climate change obviously follows socialism, so let’s outlaw socialism. Problem solved.
I moved to southeast Idaho to get away from the humidity in San Diego (and the political stupidity of CA). It works for me. I get sick in a hot, humid location. Cold and dry works best for me.
It doesn’t effect Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada and Western Europe. Those places must take the climate refugees because they have weather that is not subject to “climate change”.
It’s science!
“Don’t give the MIC and their paid for politicians any ideas.”
I would guess that the way the article is presented God in now a terrorist group using climate control instead of beheading or suicide bombing. It’s hard to imagine anyone being that completely stupid. The definition of blasphomy has broadened in meaning beyond “the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God”; it is now also used with the meaning “irreverence toward something considered sacred or inviolable.”
Matthew 12:30-32: “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. Therefore I tell you, people will be forgiven for every sin and blasphemy, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
As Lee Marvin’s Charactor in Paint Your Wagon said, “Howdy Parson, welcome to HELL!”

Since there aren’t any, we can ignore any such claims and refuse them entry with threats of jail time if they try.
