Wrong, The Hill, Climate Change Is Not Causing Emigration
19 hours ago Anthony Watt
An Associated Press (AP) article picked up by the political website, The Hill, claims that Greece is unwillingly becoming the recipient of refugees from the Middle East and Africa that are migrating due to climate change, among other things. This is false. There is no evidence that long-term climate change is forcing anyone to migrate internally within borders or emigrate to foreign nations. This climate change “refugee” story is an ongoing narrative that has been going on in the media for more than 30 years, despite the fact there is no data to support it.
The article, “Greek official accuses EU of policy failure on migration as war and climate change fuel displacement,” says this:
Voultepsi expressed alarm at the growing number of refugees in Lebanon because of ongoing Israeli airstrikes targeting the militant group Hezbollah, and added: “Countries like Somalia, Ethiopia, and South Sudan … are affected by both war and climate change, creating an ever-growing flow of migrants towards Europe.”
Greece is a major entry point for migrants into the European Union, with most crossing from Turkey and Libya in unsafe boats.
