	Bill Clinton: World must prepare for climate refugees http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1316995115 "I think that you have to assume that because of climate change, there are going be a lot more refugees," Clinton said. "And that the laws which exist, and the systems of support that exist, not just the US but elsewhere, were basically built for a different time when you might have a surge of refugees from this country or a surge from that country, because of a particular political upheaval or a particular natural disaster. And that's almost certainly going to not work now." [...] "I think that in general we should become more open to immigration again," Clinton said. "Keeping people in limbo is a waste of human potential."
