Dr Ira Leifer (Atmospheric Science at the Marine Sciences Institute, University of California, Santa Barbara): “Some scientists are indicating we should make plans to adapt to a 4C hotter world. While prudent, one wonders what portion of the population could adapt to such a world. My view is that it’s just a few thousand people seeking refuge in the Arctic or Antarctica” (quoted in Robert Hunziker, “” Climate genocide”, Counterpunch, 6 March 2015: http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/03/06/climate-genocide/ ).
