Global warming causing an uptick in refugees–not!

Global warming causing an uptick in refugees–not! « Refugee Resettlement Watch
I wonder if I will live to see the day when news from the UN says that Islamic terrorism is one of the main drivers of forced displacement. I thought maybe UN High Commissioner for Refugees Guterres was getting close here until the last line.

“What we are witnessing is a trend in the world where more and more people feel threatened by conflict, threatened by their own government, threatened by other political, religious ethnic or social groups, threatened by nature and nature’s retaliation against human aggression - climate change is the example of that.
Threatened by nature’s retaliation against human aggression! What! Nature is retaliating? Nature is getting even? Nature doesn’t like people fighting with each other? Nature is angry about human aggression and is fighting back by changing its climate? Ahhh!
