Government urged to provide visas for people fleeing climate change disasters

[pellinore]

The UK should provide visas for people fleeing natural disasters caused by climate change, a think tank has said.

Centre-right think tank Onward urged the Government to provide safe, legal routes for climate refugees to reach the UK to reduce the impact of related migration on border security.

Hundreds of millions of people are expected to be displaced by the effects of climate change over the next 30 years, with some likely to seek refuge in the UK, including by illegal routes.

New controllable visa schemes for those displaced by climate change to come to the UK would enable the Government to help those most in need while protecting the integrity of the immigration system

In its report, Forced to Move, Onward proposed introducing a natural disaster visa scheme to allow people to either earn money to help rebuild their lives before returning home or settle permanently if they have no home to return to after an environmental disaster.

If London will go under water, who, and were Londoners should go to?

Heh, developing countries producing kids to the point "Ah, water well is dry"...

Yeah, said Einstein, said water well can support 10 people, not 100. How is that climate change?

PS How well UK water system would work with additional half billion migrants who want to enter UK?

OK. But really, how much UK can take in? Untill, "Oh, efyouseekey, we don't have enough fresh water enough"?

I will sound racists, but people in ME and Africa procreate too much, ain't good for climate change...

Heh, obese folks... Where do I start.....

It's a centre right think thank reported in the Independent, I don't think it is a wind up:

They seem to act as if it's racist to ask such questions.  Insanity is what it is.  Those demanding totally open borders should be forced to live in the mess they are creating.  As "immigration" goes, at least these folks in the UK seem to be planning ahead to provide a legal mechanism for those in need.  I'm not sure why they think most would go through the time or expense, as well as the possibility of being denied entry, when they see millions flooding into other nations without having to follow any rules at all.

Well, brits will have clean water shortage. I'm no Brit (God bless)... On serious note, quality water supplies stretched, add anoher 10% consumers... Funny ways to go...

The world's known reserves are running out of oil.  There is no Climate Emergency.  It should be called by it's truthful name: Energy Crisis.

How is there an energy crisis when we can make ethanol and other biofuels as well as having wind/solar/sea farms?

If the world ran out of oil then we would see companies immediately pivot to other energy sources to make money.

If the world was close to running out of oil then we would see them preparing to do that in mass already.

I think it's fairly obvious it's already pivoting towards those alternative sources of energy. Keep in mind all these alternative energy sources are more expensive and not as reliable as fossil fuels.

We are seeing the preparations in mass already. Even the nations we're told are our enemies have carbon(oil) reducing climate(oil energy) plans in motion.

How can any sane person support this? You are just shifting the problem or worse creating problems, influx of population would strain resources, plus since people are used to different foods and things, those need to be imported which would ironically increase carbon emissions. Moreover providing housing would lead to deforestation and wild life losses.

As a side note to your comment on lumber. 

The forestry sector is a renewable resource.  We will never run out of trees as long as we replant what we crop which we have been doing en mass for the past 30 years.

I don’t imagine it would work well since the water dam system was mostly designed 100 years ago.
