BUNGLING Donald Trump has put Europe on a collision course with a fresh migrant crisis.

The US President has pulled his country out of a deal designed to stop the world heating up too much.

The Paris Climate Change Agreement was meant to keep global temperatures from rising by more than two degrees.

But with the US one of the worlds biggest polluters pulling out, experts say were almost certain to miss the temperature target.

If we go too far it will become unstoppable

And with some places in the Middle East and Africa already on the verge of being too hot for humans, Europe could face an influx of climate refugees.

Professor Eric Wolff from Cambridge Universitys Department of Earth Sciences told Daily Star Online the change would come in our lifetimes.

He said: "The changes in where it rains, and where we get droughts, floods and heatwaves will happen over the next few decades.

"It is likely places will become I dont like to say uninhabitable but difficult enough to live in that people will want to move."

As migrants clash with each other in over crowded camps across Europe, we take a look through the hard task of policing the migrant crisis in Europe.

Moroccan Police look at immigrants trying to jump the six-meter-high fence in Ceuta, Spanish enclave on the north of Africa, 09 December 2016.

The warning follows scorching highs of 60c in Iran and the United Arab Emirates last summer, and 54c in Iraq and Kuwait.

Professor Wolff, who is a member of the Royal Society, said places on the edge of the Sahara were also at risk.

He said: "Places which are already close to not having enough water to grow things would definitely not have enough water.

"Some places would become very uncomfortably hot you could have air conditioning, but that uses more energy so thats a feedback loop.

"Some places that are currently marginal to live in become much harder to live in still and that will cause economic disruption as well as national disruption."

And thats only the effect over the next 20 to 50 years in the longer term, melting ice would send sea levels surging, displacing even more people.

Professor Wolff said: "If we dont do anything at all then we will set in motion melting parts of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet.

"I dont want to exaggerate that thats going to happen in peoples lifetimes, but if we go too far it will become unstoppable."

Gavin Schmidt of NASA says we must now try to adapt to, rather than prevent, climate change and Professor Wolff agrees.

He said: "Youve got to try to do as much as possible but also prepare for the fact that climate is going to change.

"I think its a shame. Wed found a way, through the Paris Agreement, to at least reduce the likelihood of there being any really bad effects."

Withdrawing the US from the deal last week, President Trump accused the other signatory states of costing America "trillions of dollars" in tough trade practices.
