Start counting the UN’s scary millions

Two years ago a British judge reprimanded Al Gore for falsely claiming he knew of global warming refugees. Undeterred, United Nations officials take Gore’s scare and amp it up:

“Climate change will displace 25-50 million people by next year. The situation will be the worst in the poorer countries,” says Koko Warner of the UN University’s Institute for Environment and Human Security.

At least 25 million – and as many as 50 million – global warming refugees within the next 16 months? From zero to at least a million a month until December next year?  Is the UN really pinning its reputation on this prediction?

I’m predicting that by the end of next year the number of global warming refugees will be closer to one – Ms Koko Warner, to be specific, who will deserve the boot from her UN University position for such ludicrous scare-mongering.

(Via The ShadowLands, who suspects that “by 2010” Warner actually means we’ll have these refugees by next January.)

UPDATE

The UN’s map suggests even Australians from Albany, Kangaroo Island, Tiwi Island and King Island could be among those refugees.

UPDATE 2

Since hurricane and typhoon activity is actually decreasing, not increasing, does that mean – by Koko Warner’s arithmetic – that global warming is actually preventing, rather than causing, “climate change refugees”?
