Adoption Versus Adaptation, with Emphasis on Climate Change (2012, background): “The global change literature suggests that climate change will lead to mass migration despite the fact that the geographical scales and magnitudes are uncertain (Massey et al. 1993, Myers & Kent 1994, Faist 2000, Myers 2002, McLeman & Smit 2006, Feng et al. 2010).”

Environmental Stressors and Migration: Evidence from Vietnam (2016, background): “…gradual problems, such as droughts and rising sea levels (Foresight Migration & Global Environmental Change, 2011; Laczko & Aghazarm, 2009; Myers, 1997, 2002; for a critique, see Kniveton, Schmidt-Verkerk, Smith, & Black, 2008; see also Gemenne, 2011; Piguet, Pécoud, & de Guchteneire,…”
A meta-analysis of the literature on climate change and migration (2021, background): “A noticeable prediction of climate change on human mobility was the one of Myers (2002) who predicted that by 2050, climate change would displace more than 200 million individuals.”
Climatic Factors as Determinants of International Migration (2015, neutral): “Myers (1996) counted some 25 million ’environmental refugees’ in 1995 and forecast some 200 million by 2050 (Myers 2002).”
Migration, development and environment (2008, neutral): “Myers (2002, 2005) estimated that 25 million people in 1995 had migrated with a possible doubling by 2010 and a potential of 200 million environmental migrants due to global warming later in the twenty-first century.”
Natural disasters and population mobility in Bangladesh (2012, background): “Numerous studies have shown that population mobility can in fact serve as an important coping strategy following these events (5, 9), but this finding is often extrapolated to predict that extreme events routinely give rise to human displacements that are large-scale, international, and permanent an”
Biogeography and conservation in Southeast Asia: how 2.7 million years of repeated environmental fluctuations affect today’s patterns and the future of the remaining refugial-phase biodiversity (2010, background): “These involve changes in the distribution of populations as a result of the relocation of large numbers of environmental refugees (Myers 2001; Dowie 2009, see also Sodhi et al.’s (2010) discussion of the impact of Indonesian transmigration).”
Firm relocation as adaptive response to climate change and weather extremes (2011, background): “Existing studies on relocation in response to climate change impacts focus primarily on adaptive responses of individuals or communities (e.g., McLeman and Smit, 2006; Mortreux and Barnett, 2009; Myers, 2002; Smith, 2007; Warner et al., 2008), or the relocation of species (Hoegh-Guldberg et al.”

Climate change and internal migration patterns in Bangladesh: an agent-based model (2012, background): “Climate, migration and Bangladesh The literature on climate-change induced migration has reached mixed conclusions (Myers, 2002; Kniveton et al., 2008).”
The science of Soil Security and Food Security (2020, background): “If not addressed, and if the changes in condition re significant enough, irreversible changes to soil capability may ocur, impacting ability to adapt and forcing farmers off their land to ore populated areas as environmental refugees ( Bernzen et al., 2019 ; yers, 2002 ).”
Migration and climate change: examining thresholds of change to guide effective adaptation decision-making (2010, background): “A relatively simple spectrum is being presented of estimates of future climate change migrants from the alarmist ( Myers 2002 ) to the contended (Black et al. 2008; Castles 2002, 2006), which vary by an order of magnitude from hundreds of millions of people by the middle of the twenty-first century ”
Placing the Environment in Migration: Environment, Economy, and Power in Ghana's Central Region (2005, neutral): “…debate on the relationship between environmental change and migration is generally framed around the issue of refugees, it is preoccupied with identifying what kinds of environmental change clearly constitute a `̀ legitimate'' push for migration (see also Myers, 2002; Myers and Kent, 1995).”
The psychological impacts of global climate change. (2011, background): “Communities are already being forced to relocate because of current or anticipated climate changes (Agyeman et al., 2009), and it has been estimated that there may be 200 million environmental refugees by mid-century (Myers, 2002).”
