Osia P-Afrikasta ja Lähi-idästä muuttumassa asumiskelvottomiksi. Melko kova väite, mutta ainakin voitaneen olettaa elinolosuhteiden huonenevan merkittävästi. Arvatkaapa mihin nuo 500 miljoonaa tuolta suuntaavat?
Aavikkoalueiden kuumuus pahenee jo ennestään kuumana kesäkautena, joka puolestaan lisää hiekkamyrskyjä ja muuta mukavaa.

Climate-exodus expected in the Middle East and North Africa
Part of the Middle East and North Africa may become uninhabitable due to climate change
May 02, 2016
The number of climate refugees could increase dramatically in future. Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry and the Cyprus Institute in Nicosia have calculated that the Middle East and North Africa could become so hot that human habitability is compromised. The goal of limiting global warming to less than two degrees Celsius, agreed at the recent UN climate summit in Paris, will not be sufficient to prevent this scenario. The temperature during summer in the already very hot Middle East and North Africa will increase more than two times faster compared to the average global warming. This means that during hot days temperatures south of the Mediterranean will reach around 46 degrees Celsius (approximately 114 degrees Fahrenheit) by mid-century. Such extremely hot days will occur five times more often than was the case at the turn of the millennium. In combination with increasing air pollution by windblown desert dust, the environmental conditions could become intolerable and may force people to migrate.
