Kiribati man claims asylum on global warming grounds

Posted on 2 October 2013 by Scottish-Sceptic

THE first claim for asylum from a “climate-change refugee” is set to be heard by a court in New Zealand.
The man from the island of Kiribati arrived in New Zealand six years ago and has since settled and fathered three children. Immigration authorities have twice tried to send him back to the Pacific island, but he has argued rising sea levels caused by global warming means it is not safe for him to return there. His lawyer, Michael Kidd, plans to argue his case before the High Court on 16 October.

I see everyone’s joining in the IPCC’s 95% tom foolery.

    Reading it I think that if CAGW were genuine and caused by human agency he would have a firn case that human agency has made him a refugee.
    In which case if the court reject him they are either saying this alarmist perjured himself or that mankind is not causing it. Both are true but such a court acknowledging the truth is an interesting legal precedent.

    Scotty, you should ask for asylum because of global cooling and ask to be shifted from Scotland to some tropical island paradise.
