Wars, Bad Economic Policies Cause Humanitarian Crises, Not Climate Change
somalia povertyReuters published an article recently claiming climate change was one of the primary factors causing an increasing number of countries and people to face a humanitarian crisis. This is false.
Although the number of people facing food insecurity, living in unsafe conditions, or being displaced from their homes may have grown recently, in every instance, the situation is caused by a combination of ongoing civil strife or armed conflict and poor economic policies. [emphasis, links added]
In a few instances, temporary but not historically unique extreme weather events have exacerbated problems people were already facing, however, long-term climate change is not a factor in the world’s humanitarian crisis.
