While We Debate Climate Change, the Rest of the Planet Prepares for Mass Migration
[Bonnie Erbé] While we here in the good old U.S. of A. are still debating climate change (whether it exists, whether it is man-made) the rest of the planet not only agrees it is real, but is planning for its impact on mankind. One such change has generated a term hardly ever heard in the U.S. but well known to the rest of the globe: environmental refugee.Bonnie Erbé - Politics News, Analysis, and Opinion for the U.S. and the World
We let ourselves be held back by those who refuse to admit sea temperatures are rising due to human activity. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is busily planning how to handle the fallout when larger portions of the globe become uninhabitable. Millions of people have already been forced from their homes due to climate change. Millions more will soon be forced out by floods, cyclones, tornadoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, droughts, increased storm cycles and other environmental catastrophes.
