NO PLACE LIKE HOME

By 2050, there will be an estimated 150 million climate refugees, forced to
leave their homes by droughts, extreme weather patterns and sea level rise.
There is no international law designed to protect their needs.

EJF talked to President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives and Premier Talagi of Niue about how climate change is affecting their countries.

The Environmental Justice Foundation is a UK charity working internationally to protect the natural environment and human rights, campaigning for reductions in greenhouse gases, and calling for international protection for climate refugees.

We believe that that there needs to be a legally-binding, international Protocol that identifies and protects these people displaced from their homes by deteriorating
environmental conditions.

@WarzSchoolchild Bull shit. Global warming is very real and it is man made. Accept reality.

@normalais "Red Herring Fallacy" e.g. "Poisoning The Well",

where adverse information about a target is preemptively presented to an audience, with the intention of discrediting or ridiculing everything that the target person is about to say

@normalais Hi, Check out "The Bare Assertion Fallacy" as listed in Wikipedia's "List of Fallacies".

@WarzSchoolchild And I don't know what the hell is it with you people opposing reality so fanatically. Science proved alreayd in 1990's that global warming is real and man made. But for whatever reason people just fanatically oppose facts. I guess it is because they need to change their lives a bit, and people never ever want to do that. Change is always painful and takes generations. But don't worry, at the end we will prevail:)

@WarzSchoolchild LOL actually "climate gate" was proven to be a false. There was no "gate". All data was solid.

@normalais Thanks for that valuable information, it confirms what we all suspect, there has actually been global cooling. The "Climategate" scandal revealed that 'global warming' data was fabricated. Actually there was cooling. Biased measurements were taken from 'Urban Hot Spots' which may have been amplified further with 'Chemtrails" (well known to trap heat) Over 30,000 scientists signed a petition objecting to the fraudulent Global Warming Hypothesis.

@WarzSchoolchild Then how come the seas are rising? My familie's vacation home near the Baltic sea is now almost washed into the sea. 20 years ago we had a beach in front of it. This summer the climate has changed so much that we have crazy thunderstorms every few days almost because of the all-time-record heat and humidity. If this continues very soon our vacation house on the coast will be underwater. And we're not the only one's

Global warming, 'Lowers' Oceans, The Science is simple to understand. As temperatures rise, more evaporation from the oceans takes place, much of this moisture precipitates as snow at the polar ice caps, which increase in size. This depletion of water, converted into polar ice, lowers the sea level. The Poles are so very cold, they will never have 'rain' it is guarenteed to precipitate as 'snow'.
