Bangladeshi General @ Lima: Expect Spike In Immigration And Terrorism From Climate Breakdown
Climate change will lead to terrorism and increased immigration into the UK as millions are displaced by rising seas, a senior military figure warned as the Lima climate talks entered their final hours.
Displaced and marginalized climate refugees will be forced to abandon their homes as vast areas of countries, such as Bangladesh, are lost due to sea level rise over the next 35 years, warned Major General Munir Muniruzzaman, a former military advisor to the president of Bangladesh.
This will create a vast breeding ground for recruitment for extremists and radicals, General Muniruzzaman told The Telegraph. And since the already-overpopulated country will not be able to accommodate its refugees, many will flee to Britain where there is already a substantial Bangladeshi population.
According to a Bangladeshi government strategy paper on climate change more than 20 million people could be displaced due to global warming impacts. The settlement of these environmental refugees will pose a serious problem for the densely populated Bangladesh and migration must be considered as a valid option for the country, the strategy paper says.
