*shrugs*I guess those maps, went the way of the Israeli maps at the UN too(?)....
On a serious note, this makes it difficult to take an Org. and their advocacy seriously when this they practice this questionable behavior.
Climate Refugees, Not Found
Discredited by reality, the U.N.'s prophecies go missing.
april 21 2011
In 2005, the U.N. Environment Program (UNEP) published a color-coded map under the headline "Fifty million climate refugees by 2010." The primary source for the prediction was a 2005 paper by environmental scientist Norman Myers.
Six years later, this flood of refugees is nowhere to be found, global average temperatures are about where they were when the prediction was madeand the U.N. has done a vanishing act of its own, wiping the inconvenient map from its servers.
The map, which can still be found elsewhere on the Web, disappeared from the program's site sometime after April 11, when Gavin Atkins asked on AsianCorrespondent.com: "What happened to the climate refugees?" It's now 2011 and, as Mr. Atkins points out, many of the locales that the map identified as likely sources of climate refugees are "not only not losing people, they are actually among the fastest growing regions in the world."
