Among fictional illustrations of where moonbattery is taking us, three novels stand out: 1) Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand; 2) 1984, by George Orwell; and 3) The Camp of the Saints, by Jean Raspail. In the latter, Third-World hordes set off from their dysfunctional countries in anything that will float, swamping the willfully undefended developed world out of existence. Bangladesh’s finance minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith is laying the groundwork to make the book come true.

You might think this is not a problem, because global warming isn’t real. But what’s real makes no difference to moonbats. Never mind the falling temperatures. In the alternate reality inhabited by our liberal elite ruling class, the rising seas caused by imaginary melting icebergs are already swamping the shoeless urchins.

Up to 20 million Bangladeshis may be forced to leave the country in the next 40 years because of climate change, one of the country’s most senior politicians has said. Abul Maal Abdul Muhith, Bangladesh’s finance minister, called on Britain and other wealthy countries to accept millions of displaced people. …

“Twenty million people could be displaced [in Bangladesh] by the middle of the century,” Abdul Muhith told the Guardian. “We are asking all our development partners to honour the natural right of persons to migrate. We can’t accommodate all these people — this is already the densest [populated] country in the world,” he said.

He called on the UN to redefine international law to give climate refugees the same protection as people fleeing political repression. “The convention on refugees could be revised to protect people. It’s been through other revisions, so this should be possible,” he said.

Tens of thousands of people in Bangladesh and other low-lying areas of Asia are leaving their communities as their homes and land become inundated. … Bangladesh, India, and many small island states such as the Maldives face having to relocate large populations over the next 50 years as sea levels rise up to one metre. This would have profound effects on the 1.5 billion people who presently live in coastal areas. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the scientific [sic] body that assesses the impact of climate change, has said there could be 200 million climate change migrants by 2050.

The grotesquely corrupt global warming profiteer Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the UN’s pseudoscientific IPCC, loves the idea of using the nonexistent crisis as a pretext for Third World demographic conquest:

This is clearly a warning signal from Bangladesh and similar countries to the developed countries. And I think it has to be taken very seriously. If you accept that those countries that have really not been responsible for causing the problem, and have a legitimate basis for help from the developed countries, then one form of help would certainly be facilitation of immigration from these countries to the developed world.

If you had 30 or 40 million migrating to other parts of the world, that’s a sizable problem for which we have to prepare. And if it requires changes to immigration laws and facilitating people settling down and working in the developed countries, then I suppose this will require legislative action in the developed world.

Would we actually allow millions upon millions of refugees to overwhelm us economically, socially, and demographically, potentially blotting us out of existence? Of course we would. Who would open fire on fleets of shoeless urchins?
