It is increasingly likely that hundreds of millions of people per year will be displaced from their homelands in the near future as a result of global warming. 


That must be what Rex Tillerson, CEO of Exxon Mobil means when he says "We'll adapt."

"Changes to weather patterns that move crop production areas around -- we'll adapt to that. It's an engineering problem and it has engineering solutions," Tillerson said.
