Scenarios completely exaggerated Berlin (ots) According to experts, as a result of climate change, people around the world could... Lose home. The Greens demand that the industrialized countries should have residents Offer "climate passports" to threatened areas and thus enable escape from unsafe areas allow areas. Sites like \"PI-News\", \"Anonymousnews\" or \"Journalists Watch\" claim that the Green Party politician Claudia Roth wants this Equip half the world's population with a climate passport or 140 million “Throwing citizenship behind” climate refugees. AfD leader Jörg Meuthen even assumes that the Greens want to abolish the nation state. RATING: All wrong. The World Bank speaks of around 140 million Climate refugees "within the borders" of their home country. \"Climate passports\" - a suggestion from experts - it should be for the part of climate refugees whose entire home country no longer offers any protection against disasters. These include small groups of islands. FACTS: Rising sea levels and more frequent natural disasters like Floods are, among other things, the result of man-made climate change. This threatens, for example, residents in certain areas of the world - especially in flat island states. The Bundestag will debate on December 13, 2019 at the request of the Greens ( via the so-called "climate pass" for particularly Those affected ( Accordingly, the smallest one sits down Bundestag faction explicitly initially supports the introduction of such a document for the \"populations of small island states\" whose national territory become uninhabitable due to climate change" ( On the same day, Bundestag Vice President Claudia Roth explained this Editorial network Germany ( a \"Citizenship in the receiving country\" could be an option if the Homelands threatened to disappear at sea. The Green politician speaks expressly not from Germany alone. In addition, in her opinion, The top priority is that people can stay in their homeland and solutions can be found on site. AfD leader Jörg Meuthen then insinuates Roth that she wants the German citizenship to poor migrants as quickly as possible all over the world is squandered\" ( FDP- Party vice-president Wolfgang Kubicki claims the result of the "climate pass" is \"unregulated immigration of hundreds of thousands or millions of people Germany" ( The website "Journalistenwatch" writes that Roth's demands could be met theoretically "between 2.5 and 6 billion people" in their Have "desired destination countries" resettled ( The portal \"Anonymousnews\" believes Roth is of the opinion: \"All climate refugees must obtain German citizenship!\" ( But these are all false claims. The theses have to do with the ideas nothing to do with a "climate pass" and Roth's statements. The proposal for the "climate pass" originally comes from a paper by the Scientific Advisory Board of the Federal Government on Global Environmental Change (WBGU; According to this independent According to the committee, such a "pass" could initially be an "offer" for the population flat island states". The experts wrote in August 2018: "The In extreme cases, topographical conditions do not allow retreat own national territory or through connections to the mainland." The "climate pass" should therefore apply to those people who are stateless would if their homeland were uninhabitable.

The experts are of the opinion that without concrete climate and... Development measures forced just over 143 million people (...). could be to move within their own country slowly to avoid the onset effects of climate change."
