Again, ideologically motivated pseudoscience: they make a bunch of dubious assumptions, focus on Central America to arrive at the inevitable subject of migration to the USA. Due to their assumptions, the outcome of their model is predetermined and they've "proven" we can either choose to accept climate alarmism or billions of refugees in our countries.

I was a little frustrated to see that only the America’s were modelled. Are we saying the main equator region is going to become too hot to live (I imagine with warming that’s logical). Would prefer to see a looser model looking at the equator band worldwide and guessing as to where people might obviously head. Considering geography and politics I think there’s enough there to get a crude logical idea of what might happen.

The PNAS article[1] may be more appropriate for this audience than the popular news media treatment. The first two charts are food for thought.
