Again, I must say, I find it astounding that you agree the phenomenon may be real, but you think it will cause no great harm. Saying that impoverished people in Bangladesh should move elsewhere is callous. This is like saying that avian influenza might cross the species boundary to people but it will not cause much harm, and even if does kill some people, they will be mostly poor and the world is overpopulated anyway. And besides, the last time that happened in 1918, it did not have much effect. It infected only one fifth of the population and killed only ~50 million people. It was no worse than WWII.
