This is what we've been warning you about.
Yes, you people in Central Europe and North America – a few degrees of warming won't threaten your wealth.
But a billion people with the choice of moving north or starving will.
The price of our inaction is more than the cost to stop it.
Climate change is going to hit poorer countries hardest, but rich countries will feel it through mass migration.
Europe already struggled with refugees from Syria and Africa, and climate migration will be on a whole different scale.
Countries like Denmark just aren’t set up to handle millions of new people without major changes.
It’s going to take global cooperation and some hard decisions to deal with what’s coming.
Once again, climate “news” is 10 years late.
