I’ve mentioned this story a few times, thought I’d give the outcome
(Guardian) A Pacific Island man’s bid to become a climate change refugee suffered a blow on Tuesday after a New Zealand court refused to let him challenge a decision denying him asylum.Â
Ioane Teitiota, 37, had said he was trying to escape rising seas and environmental risks caused by global warming in his home country of Kiribati.Â
But New Zealand’s High Court in Auckland ruled that his claim fell short of the legal criteria, such as fear of persecution or threats to his life.Â
What he was really concerned about was poo infested waters. This is a big blow to the Warmists, who have been attempting to push their “climate refugee” meme as a way of pushing redistribution of (Other People’s) wealth.
