Time Mag Links Bangladesh Cyclone to Global Warming, Muslim Colonization

In a desperate bid to catch up to Newsweek, Time has been publishing some of the wackiest and depraved moonbattery imaginable.
Inevitably, Time used the cyclone that recently hit Bangladesh, as countless cyclones have before, as a pretext to rant about the horrors of global warming — even while admitting that it was nowhere near as bad as the cyclone that hit in the 1970s, before global warming had been invented. But the real disasters are yet to come — unless of course we renounce our modern ways and return to whatever pre-industrial and even pre-agricultural dystopia environmentalists want to impose on us:
[M]uch of Bangladesh will be transformed if current global warming trends continue. As the sea level rises, vast swaths of coastal land will disappear in coming decades — as much as 18% of Bangladesh's current landmass, according to the World Bank. And as the rivers swell with water from melting Himalayan glaciers, land in the center of the country will also disappear. Those effects, combined with more frequent and stronger cyclones, could spark an exodus of climate refugees fleeing for the cities and for other countries.
That's a problem, because Bangladesh is already one of the most densely populated countries on the globe — just under half the population of the U.S. crammed into an area the size of the state of Iowa. Neighboring India is already so worried about the growing number of Bangladeshi migrants that it is building a huge fence on the two nations' shared border. Rahman, however, sees a silver lining: Bangladesh's fleeing multitudes can help feed the West's need for cheap labor as its own population ages. "The globalization of the climate process will force the globalization of the demographic process," he says. And if the rich world is not ready to let in millions of Bangladeshis looking for somewhere dry to live? "The rich world caused this problem so they're going to have to pay for it," says Rahman. "I've started telling my colleagues from Europe and Canada that we might have to introduce a system that says if you produce 10,000 tons of carbon you have to take a Bangladeshi family. They don't like hearing that." They may have to get used to it.
The weather is the West's fault, so if the West is obliterated by wave after wave of Muslim colonists from backwater hellholes like Bangladesh, it's exactly what we deserve for causing the nonexistent climate change crisis.
There you have it, the gospel according to Time Magazine. Charles Manson's was no less constructive.
