– I’ve believed for some time that the only way to view our coming history is as an interlocked interdependent set of increasingly probable events. People like to think of global climate change as one thing and poverty as another but as the future unfolds, each will feed into and potentiate the other. In fact, most of the elements I consider part of the Perfect Storm hypothesis do, or will, work this way as well.
– This report by the Christian Aid Charity is pointing out the likely causal connection between global climate change and global immigration and poverty.
————————————
The effects of climate change could make at least one billion people homeless between now and 2050, says the charity Christian Aid.
The group expects climate change to deepen an already worsening global migration crisis.
In a report, the charity says it fears the wave of migrations will generate new conflicts in areas of the world where resources are most scarce.
The migration crisis in poor countries is not recognised, says Christian Aid.
In a report to mark the start of Christian Aid week, the charity says that forced migration is now the most urgent threat facing poor people in the developing world.

I commented on this in Immigration Orange. Global warming is most certainly going to hurt the countries worse off in the first place and the inability to act on this problem is certainly a function of that. Keep up the good work.
