I say let them all come here... they are our neighbours and need our help.
I don't think man made climate change has made this happen but that is totally not the point.. these people will need help if it is a man made disaster or a natural one.

MMMMMM, see your point BUT what do we do with all these people along with the refugees we already take in, who will feed them, clothe them, educate them, house them and find them work so they can be self sufficient ?

don't know about the climate refugees but i think it would be a good idea to stop breeeding like rabbits as there is less and less arable land around.
