Guardian: "Hundreds of millions of people may be trapped in inhospitable environments as they attempt to flee from the effects of global warming"

Climate change could trap hundreds of millions in disaster areas, report claims | Environment | guardian.co.uk
Hundreds of millions of people may be trapped in inhospitable environments as they attempt to flee from the effects of global warming, worsening the likely death toll from severe changes to the climate, a UK government committee has found.
Flashback:  The UN “disappears” 50 million climate refugees, then botches the disappearing attempt | Watts Up With That?
Hoo boy, government bureaucratic idiocy at its finest. Not only is the original claim bogus, the attempts to disappear it are hilariously inept. Apparently, they’ve never heard of Google Cache at the UN. Rather than simply say “we were wrong”, they’ve now brought even more distrust onto the UN.
