Millions of Africans Will Flee to Europe Over Global Warming, Warns Official

Berlin, 24 Ramadan 1438/19 June 2017 (MINA) — Hotter temperatures due to climate change could lead to a forced migration of millions from Africa to Europe if environmental precautions are not taken, KUNA reported, citing a German official on Sunday.

Speaking to German newspaper Bild just under three weeks prior to a G20 summit on Africa, Mueller argues that the future of the planet rests primarily on conditions in the continent due to the rapid increase of its population.
