Al Jazeera: 10 million displaced internally by conflict in 2018: Report
New figure brings total number of people living as IDPs due to violence and tensions to 41.3 million, an all-time high.
Conflict forced more than 10 million people to flee their homes to live elsewhere within their own country last year, bringing the total number of people internally displaced by violence to a record high, monitors say.
The new figure brings the total number of people currently living in internal displacement due to violence to 41.3 million, an all-time high, according to a report by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).

Climate Change and Its Staggering Refugee Crisis
Research confirms that massive migration, into the millions, will be an inevitable consequence of global warming.
"Panting"
Yes Mr Panting and many in plush circumstances, relatively speaking that is, believe it will never happen to them.
U.S. is only nation in industrialized world to think so, Bob, and our very own Pentagon says this is a national security issue, but why believe them?
ps is it possible to comment without being nasty?
Just following your inspiring example squirrel.
Of course you're panting, you always are squirrel.

My comment was nasty?
Chinese Scientists have published a study showing that the Antarctic ice sheet is getting thicker over the last several years. A recent NASA study says the the same thing.
People being people is enough to explain fighting in Somalia, Congo and other places. Said Barre fell in 1991. Also another socialist paradise, Somalia, ended. Shocker!
Now a generation after the fact followers, sheeple, and other low IQ types want to blame global warming.
