"is threatening to force millions of people to become refugees and spark major wars that could “completely destabilise” the world, a leading general has warned"

Climate change isn't threatening anyone right now. Evil government regimes and terrorist groups are the biggest threat. We should focus on this first.

I sure hope they aren't insinuating that the current refugee issue is due to climate change.

Climate change has the potential to make homeless hundreds of millions of people, severely disrupt our agriculture, and exacerbate the spread of many diseases.

Evil government regimes and terrorists groups may be threatening you now with a switchblade, but I'd also worry about the shady Climate Change guy hanging out on the other side of the street.

They aren't, this seems to be something you have created all on your own.

You concerns for fixing our world's current ills are valid. Not having contrarian groups around would certainly be nice, but I'd be just as concerned that by not preparing for climate change now we are just setting the stage for another set of contrarian regimes and militia groups to emerge when we all start suffering from the effects of climate change.
