Well the UN general assembly predicted 50 million climate refugees by 2010
So I am not surprised that someone should say 1 billion
Wrong People generally don't become refugees simply because of weather, except for short periods. And, it was weather that hit the northern hemisphere, particularly harsh in the US and Canada, BUT much of the world had warmer and much warmer than average temps, as well as many places having record warm temperatures resulting in January 2014 being the fourth warmest January worldwide in 134 years
They predicted millions, tens of millions, perhaps even hundreds of millions, but I don't think they have reported billions yet, as that is the whole population of the planet.
A billion is a big number. Try googling to see how many refugees there are in the world today. Ask for help from a high school student regarding how close that number is to 1 billion.
This is a good example of the kind of wild-eyed nonsense you can expect from radical Leftist/Alarmists. This particular goofy quip came from the self admitted Communist Van Jones, that was the White House Special Advisor for Green Jobs before he had to step-down after his admission of being a Communist became widely known.
Here's some more about Van Jones, the known Communist that Obama made White House advisor, unfortunately, Van Jones is far from being the only Communist Obama clings to.
Disgraced 'green jobs czar,' [Van Jones] 'truther' and admitted communist to lead extremist

. maybe not to long as maybe a billion will move south to escape the freezing.
