Indeed. I am not making this up: I posted about how climate change was going to result in massive displacement and death of 10's of millions of people in places like Bangladesh, as sea live rise and insanely high temperatures make the land literally uninhabitable. Impossible to grow food in soil contaminated with salt, lacking infrastructure to prevent being killed by 50 degree temperatures, and it goes on and on, like in this much newer report:
https://unfccc.int/files/adaptation...ttee/application/pdf/ds_bangladesh_report.pdf
And stuff like this is not going get better before it gets worse,
https://ejfoundation.org/reports/climate-displacement-in-bangladesh
"Worldwide, climate change is destroying livelihoods, infrastructure and communities, forcing people from their homes, towns and even countries. In 2016 alone, extreme weather-related disasters displaced around 23.5 million people. This does not include the people forced to flee their homes as a consequence of slow-onset environmental degradation, such as droughts, sea level rise and melting permafrost. Bangladesh is on the frontline of these impacts."
So, it's bad. Really bad, and it's going to get worse. Something to keep in mind the next time the topic of accepting refugees in large numbers comes up. But I digress.
Point being, and tl;dr, after I said this, he said the world is overpopulated anyway and it would be best if we got rid of about 2 billion, and as long as it was other people in all these poor parts of the world he was fine with it, as long as he and his family were safe and sound in (I think Calgary) in Canada. And too bad about climate change.
Oh, and I don't mind saying,
@Madmick's response that the idea of climate change causing displacement is a bullshit way of saying they want to move someplace better and come and take our jerbs, paints an ugly picture of him too.
