If not now, in the not too distant future. &quot;\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tHowever, he is wrong too &quot;not too distant future&quot; implies that this is something new.

His story is a familiar one for those who follow the connection in the increasingly close link between extreme weather phenomena and deformed climate patterns.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tIn early June, people from communities affected by climate from Tuvalu, Kiribati, Fiji, Solomon Islands and the Philippines said they would seek &quot;Climate Justice&quot; and that will make the biggest polluters to take responsibility and assume the stimulation of climate change. Elma Reyes, along with Greenpeace Southeast Asia and other local organizations, guides the Filipinos in demanding an investigation of major carbon pollutants by the Philippines Commission on Human Rights.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tGreenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior recently delivered material aid in Vanuatu after the island was devastated by a cyclone assigned by the president on climate change.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/add-energy.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/greenpeace.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"greenpeace\" src=\"http:\/\/add-energy.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/greenpeace.jpg\" \/><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tPeople in the village Panita, Tongoa Island, with food from Rainbow Warrior.

Their lives were transformed into a daily struggle to survive with insufficient resources and with little money. And they are victimized by those in distant places that have a much higher quality of life and would prefer not to notice.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\tWe have a new scientifically verifiable certainty on climate change.

Grim. As Immigration Minister says, from UK opposition, Chris Bryant in September 2013: &quot;You can imagine that the United Nations estimate 200 million of such refugees, more than the current number of migrants worldwide, would be almost correct. &quot;These words repeat what colleagues at Greenpeace Germany supported in 2007.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"almost_half_cell\" id=\"gt-res-content\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"zoom:1\">\n<div id=\"tts_button\">\n\t\t\t&nbsp;\n\t\t<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\t\t\tThis is why Greenpeace calls for new financial commitments from the Green Climate Fund to reach 15 million &#8211; because developed nations, consuming excessively, are those which catalyze the awful chain reaction leading to mass displacement of the population.
