If people start migrating away from those regions en masse, is there a chance it will trigger a war?

Yes. The middle east includes regions fractured by lack of water and competing state interests. Not all tensions derive from Sunni, Shia & Jewish religious/state issues. Turkey controls headwaters that millions depend on. Wars in Africa can be traced to shrinking rivers and lakes. Tensions between north and south Sudan, Uganda and Rwanda,

  If you are a young male, joining a gang and getting a gun (religious cult, tribe, criminal or national military) is a way to ensure food security for themselves and even to their family. When you see pictures of people starving, they never hold AK-47 in their hand.

There will be wars. Some say that the Syrian War was affected by climate change https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2015/03/150302-syria-war-climate-change-drought/ https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2015/03/150302-syri...

There will be, I just woke up this early morning thinking about climate change, and thought people will definitely want to migrate to cooler places but some nations will object to this due to conflicting interests In another viewpoint on climate change, do remember that the Earth rotate around the Sun in elliptical manner, it's not perfect circle - there will be surely a time when a new Ice Age will happen - we're just at a period when Earth is getting closer to the Sun on it's rotational axis

  I'm not sure I understood your comment about the shape of the earth's orbit. The earth's orbit around the sun is an ellipse. But it's an ellipse that takes one year to traverse. The closest thing that gets us in terms of an "ice age" is winter. And, in fact, "winter" is what happens when you're closer to the sun, due to a change in the angle of incidence of sunlight (in the northern hemisphere). Are you referring to something else?

  How much time does Earth need for one full rotation?

Lots of people that are housing and food insecure, desperate and in need of basic resources? Historically this is a recipe for raising cheap armies, and finding something to do with them.
