50 Million "climate" refugees predicted. Where are they?

[wirebender]

Back in 2005 the UN environment program predicted that by 2010 there would be 50 million climate refugees. Where are they?

Not only did the prediction turn out to be pure rubbish, they have now been caught in an inept attempt to sweep the prediction under the rug. More evidence that climate alarmism is not science. In actual science, being wrong, and having proof that you are wrong is often as important as being right as proof of error eliminates the possibility from the equation.

The UN “disappears” 50 million climate refugees, then botches the disappearing attempt | Watts Up With That?

A Different Kind of Tsunami: Climate Refugees | KQED's Climate Watch

It's not so much the planet we need to worry about, it's each other. And ourselves.

That's the message of the documentary Climate Refugees, which aims to portray "the human face of climate change." The film takes viewers to flooded disaster zones in Bangladesh and China, to tiny island nations like Tuvalu under threat from sea level rise, and to the desert wastelands of Sudan, where, according to the UN, the devastating war in Darfur has been driven partly by climate change.

Extreme weather events are expected to become more common as the climate continues to change, raising the odds for disastrous floods like the ones Pakistan last year, which displaced more than 20 million people, and major droughts which will likely increase desertification in vulnerable areas of Africa and Asia, threatening food and water supplies for millions of people.

And all of those people will need someplace to go.

A link to that claim would be helpful.

The link you gave us does not lead to the UN site, but rather a site that claims the UN predicted this number of environmal refugees.

Not that I doubt some fool might have made such a statement, of course, but I'd like to read it for myself.

what a load of poppycock! every time the alarmists make a prediction Mother Nature shows them to be incorrect. what happened to the hurricanes predicted? or the flooded islands? didnt happen so now they are trying to call weather events climate change.

read the article! the whole point was that the UN disappeared their predictions down the memory hole but that in the age of internet Google cache can ressurect it.

chaulk up another vote for 'lying for a good cause' is better than 'investigating to find the truth'.

Give it time, it will happen.

Scientists say tropical glaciers like the snowy peaks of Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa’s highest mountain, are especially sensitive to climate change. “The same thing is happening to Kilimanjaro…It’s gone from white to brown,” Mr Magezi-Akiiki said. A study in 2002 showed Kilimanjaro to have lost more than 80 per cent of its ice cap in the past 100 years, reducing water supplies to people living around it.

Get it? Tropical glaciers in Africa melting. Once gone, it will be all Sahara.

How many tropical glaciers do you thin there are? Do you think the world will flood if they all melt?

Does the minor detail that most of Kilimanjaro's glacier melted decades ago make any difference to you? How about the fact that, depite the fact that it is almost completely gone, the desert around Kilimanjaro hos not flooded?

hahaha, how much credence do you give the Kilamanjaro story?


you do know that CO2 and global warming is not the cause of the snow sublimating, right?

Of course... an earthquake caused tsunami is caused by Globull Warming.

That's like including suicide statistics in with murders and abortions because both have someone dying.

In the case of this mountain, it's not so much that they are melting as that they are not being remade annually. There is drought in the area and the snows are not as heavy as they recently were.

what evil /
the pentagon worked out scenarios with the climate change , shortage of water and food coming , droughts , crop failure .

the snow of the himalayas are the water source for china , india , pakistan .
Africa is in trouble as well , and war over resource will be glob it is thought to happen in 15 to 20 years ,

The Pentagon works on all sorts of possible scenarios. They even have a plan for if Mexico attacks the US. Do you really think that that's likely?
