@Nonog Right away, when a "scientist" uses the word "narrative" I get a bad feeling.
Nowhere in the original paper does it deal with the question of whether the climate catastrophe is causing the socioeconomic conditions that cause people to move!
[some time elapses]
Now I did some analysis, this article is fucking enraging.

@Nonog Why would someone get up and move due to climate change, without socioeconomic reasons?
Are they seriously proposing that people would leave a place where they are doing economically well "because of climate change"?
How would this even go? "I'm going to close my profitable business here and move, as a statement about climate change." Who would find that believable?
This is the biggest sack of shit I've seen today, and I've seen a lot of shit today.
@TomSwirly Don't worry. There's sacks and sacks left to go.
