Weather disasters caused by climate change displaced 43 million children, says UNICEF
France24 ^ | October 6, 2023

Weather disasters fueled by climate change -- from floods to droughts, storms to wildfires -- sparked 43.1 million child displacements from 2016 to 2021, the UN Children's Fund warned Thursday, slamming the lack of attention paid to victims.

Statistics on internal displacements caused by climate disasters generally do not account for the age of the victims.

But UNICEF worked with the non-governmental Internal Displacement Monitoring Center to unpick the data and reveal the hidden toll on children.

Ninety-five percent of those displacements were caused by floods and storms.

The data reflect the number of displacements and not the number of children affected, as the same child could be uprooted more than once.

The figures do not allow for a distinction between those evacuated before a weather event, and those forced to leave in the wake of a disaster.

"Cherry picking" is now "unpicking", I think.

Like, no family has ever had to move because of drought or flood before.

“” 43.1 million child displacements from 2016 to 2021””

.

Strange how it does not displace adults, only “THE CHILDREN” seem to be affected.

It’s climate change, It’s climate change, It’s climate change!!!!!!
We’re all gonna die!!!!!!
Man made climate change, Say it enough, say it long enough, and people will believe anything.

If climate change is happening, I’m sure it couldn’t have anything to do with Earth’s core, volcanoes,(above ground, underwater, ect..), or the Sun!

NOPE, it’s man!! Only way to control people is convince them(us), it’s man!

Cannot believe anything coming out of UNICEF. They approve HAMAS propaganda teaching Arab children in Gaza and the West Bank to hate and kill Jews.

Weather is not climate change. Or is the cult changing the terms again

Ok, now do economic disasters started by political regimes.

Then do wars caused by political regimes.

Then do religious conflicts and violence.

I’m betting this is 95% of necessary “children” refugees, versus climate events (that they’re labeling, for political reasons, as man-made climate change.)

I am glad that the left has adopted the term “climate change” over “global warming”.

Global warming just isn’t accurate. Climate change on the other hand is. The climate does/is constantly changing.

All you have to do is to remember that “climate change” just means “weather”. Not alarming at all unless you live in extreme weather related areas. (Your fault).

Is living in Florida worth the risk of hurricanes? YOU decide.

Is living in Kansas or other tornado prone areas? YOU decide.

Is living in Phoenix or Saudi Arabia or other extremely hot areas worth the risks and discomfort? YOU decide.

Is living in rural Alaska or Northern Canada worth the freezing temperatures, the snow, and Grizzly bears? YOU decide.

In any event, its all just “weather”/nature. Always has been and will continue to be so, just WEATHER.
