First Darfur, then Syria, Venezuela and now Bolivia

Darfur: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2007/jun/23/sudan.climatechange
Syria: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ominous-story-of-syria-climate-refugees/
Venezuela: https://www.theguardian.com/news/20...ydroelectric-dam-guri-dry-reservoirs-colombia
Bolivia: http://www.ecowatch.com/bolivia-drought-melt-glaciers-2112257923.html

Each of these places have massive problems due to climate change.

Darfur's environmental degradation resulted in 2 million refugees. The Syrian civil war started due to the worst drought in centuries. Venezuela's oil wells were powered by hydroelectric dams, leading to reduced output. And now, Bolivia is having severe water shortages.

Will the world realize how bad things are once bigger countries like India or Mexico get hit? How bad do things have to get before serious changes happen?

Climate change's impact on weather patterns produces instability, and climatic instability's impact on grain yields across the Middle East was in no small part the spark that got the Arab spring going too.

The refugee 'problem' is only going to get worse.

The problem in part is that the whole world needs to take an interest. If only a few small countries do their part, it's not enough. Global warming (for example) requires a global coming together, a global solution.

We need investors from developed countries taking an active role and investing in green energy projects in developing countries such as Mexico, India, Brazil, etc. India's solar energy project could have kickstarted a while ago if the government had enough funds.

"Syria civil war started because of a drought"...see you lost me right there. And the rest of your story sounds like lies too.
