>"Climate change will stir 'unimaginable' refugee crisis, says military.
>"Unchecked global warming is greatest threat to 21st-century security where mass migration could be ‘new normal’, say senior military.
>"Climate change is set to cause a refugee crisis of 'unimaginable scale,' according to senior military figures, who warn that global warming is the greatest security threat of the 21st century and that mass migration will become the 'new normal.'
>"The generals said the impacts of climate change were already factors in the conflicts driving a current crisis of migration into Europe. Military leaders have long warned that global warming could multiply and accelerate security threats around the world by provoking conflicts and migration. They are now warning that immediate action is required.
>"'Climate change is the greatest security threat of the 21st century,' said Major Generak Munir Muniruzzaman, chairman of the Global Military Advisory Council on climate change and a former military adviser to the president of Bangladesh. He said one meter of sea level rise will flood 20% of his nation. 'We’re going to see refugee problems on an unimaginable scale, potentially above 30 million people.'"
Science pretty much confirms that our looming ecological crisis is going to be catastrophic for places like Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and Central America. As these regions continue to get hotter and growing numbers of people are displaced due to geographic shifts, drought or famine, do you think we could see far-right reactionary political movements in Europe and the Americas in response to them moving toward the poles?
We've already seen it due to the unrest in Libya, Syria and the Arab Spring--how much more when these numbers are increased twenty-fold? Should we take the /polarpill/?
