Article-Summary: 

Countries such as Britain which are destroying the environment of poorer nations by contributing to global warming and using tropical hardwoods should be prepared to take a fair share of the refugees they have created, says a think tank report. The New Economics Foundation says the idea of being responsible for environmental refugees is an extension of the "polluter pays" principle.
