50m environmental refugees by end of decade, UN warns | Environment | The Guardian
Fifty million climate refugees by 2010 – Maps and Graphics at UNEP/GRID-Arendal
The fake news never ends with these criminals, who make their living sucking money out of taxpayers wallets.
It gets even funnier.
Nick Nuttal of UNEP, has his name on this document, that claims there will be 50 million climate refugees by 2010.

But here, Nick says there is no such document.

The doc you linked begins with:
Correction:
Conflict is the driving factor. Unknown if there are any other factors.
Didn’t they move it up to 2020?….LOL
They might actually make it…if they keep destabilizing countries like they are doing
They will. The Crying Wolf loons began with 2000 as the doomsday year for climate refugees:
“Entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of eco-refugees, threatening political chaos.” -Noel Brown, ex UNEP Director, 1989
So?
Even if we ‘flooded’ those areas (and the Dutch have been handling that problem for years**) we also open up a heck of a lot of Canada and Siberia and Greenland to farming.
These idiot keep forgetting the earth is BIG. We could fit all of us into the state of Texas.
**Half of the Netherlands would be regularly flooded by the sea. The earliest indications of dike building date from the late Iron Age. http://dutchdikes.net/history/
Interesting.
Off your topic a little bit but I googled on got this video:
Behind the dykes (sic) of Holland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etUGrOlJYVs
It looks like a beautiful landscape. Until you start seeing bird-killing windmill eyesores all over the place, seriously marring an otherwise picturesque countryside. I noticed there’s no birds in the video. I wonder why.
This map is one of the biggest dumb-ass concoctions we’ve seen
The “refugee” areas allegedly subject to “draught and melting ice and permafrost” are essentially uninhabited. Huh – – no people, no refugees – – Who woulda thunk it?
And of course the “sea-level rise” predictions are demonstrably BS
That leaves only the “areas exposed to hurricanes”, which have been strikingly safe and quiet worldwide since 2005
As Limbaugh has phrased it, we’re experiencing a whole new kind of stupid from the Left (including all climate-change alarmists)
They really are idiotic. They not only have the piedmont of the Appalachian mountains drowned, they have the entire mountain range!
For example:
Raleigh, NC is 351 ft above sea level (124 miles from the sea)
Durham, NC is 400 ft
Mebane is just west of Durham is 630 ft
Rocky Mount, NC, on the coastal plain and ~84 miles to the shore is still 123 ft above sea level.
(It is almost 2,600 miles coast to coast to give a bit of scale.)
……
Amazing how easy it is to trash their scare tactics without even going out side their parameters.
Even the the Late Eemian Aridity Pulse (LEAP) was only +6 m. (~20 feet) and not 200 feet and the Eemian was hotter than the Holocene.
Holocene on left and Eemian interglacial on right.
That’s true, Jim, but when some wandering migrant bands come to these desolate areas they will not like the weather and they will leave again like true climate refugees.
And remember, the World Day of Migrants and Refugees is coming up in a few weeks and by January 20th there will be millions of desperate American Progressives on the move.

“… there will be millions of desperate American Progressives on the move.”
If only.
They wouldn’t have lied to us, would they?
It’s the UN! What do you expect? Now they’ve erased their claim for 2010 and reused the same map and now say it will happen in 2020. Trump has their number and I think quite a few Senators and Representatives will be with him:

Quite revealing that it took a journalist from an Asian news agency to even ask the simple question that revealed this.
