CLIMATE REFUGEES WILL SURPASS WAR REFUGEES BY 2030.
Due to global warming, sea levels are rising rapidly. This could wreak havoc around the globe, as millions of people will be directly impacted by elevated water levels. If you’re someone who doesn’t feel directly threatened by these changes, it can be hard to visualize how the world might look in the future. Climate Central, the organization that researches the impact of climate change, including sea level rise and coastal flooding, has created a map that shows which parts of the world could find themselves threatened by rising sea levels. Keep in mind that a lot can change, and ideally governments could finally take serious action to address the climate crisis. However if they don’t, which they seem very slow to adopt these studies can help us prepare for the potential consequences. Cities such as Amsterdam, Venice, Maldives, New Orleans, Basra, Ho Chi Mihn Vietnam, Savannah US, Kolkata, Nagoya, Port Said, Bangkok, Khunla Bangladesh, Georgetown Guyana, Dangdong China and Antwerp are all in the high risk category with many others already experiencing yearly floods. A few thousand crossing the English channel will be dwarfed by the millions forced out by climate change.
I truly savored what you’ve accomplished here. The sketch is elegant, your authored material trendy, however, you seem to have developed some trepidation about what you aim to offer next. Certainly, I shall revisit more regularly, just as I have been doing nearly all the time, in case you uphold this ascension.
This website is an absolute gem! The content is incredibly well-researched, engaging, and valuable. I particularly enjoyed the [specific section] which provided unique insights I haven’t found elsewhere. Keep up the amazing work!
I see many migrants [a.k.a. ‘illegals’] new and old in my home city, which comes close to bordering Washington State. I know that growing numbers of people, regardless of their origin, requiring housing only increases the market-value pressure on the rent rate I pay for my old one-bedroom apartment unit.
I also know there’s greater pressure on the publicly-funded health services here that are already stretched thin.
Still, it would be wrong, if not hypocritical, of me to criticize often-desperate people for doing what I [and many others] likely would do in their dreadful position and if brave enough.
Conveniently ignored by critics of northward mass migration is that many are fleeing global-warming-related extreme weather events and chronic crop failures in the southern hemisphere widely believed to be related to the northern hemisphere’s chronic fossil-fuel burning, beginning with the Industrial Revolution.
Yet, many politicians play political games with migrants — human beings, like the rest of us — while ignoring that they can feel, be hurt and suffer like the rest of us.
In any event, I have a hard time believing that migrants and refugees in general willfully and contently become permanent financial/resource burdens on their northern host nation. Quite likely they desire to pull their own weight via employment, even if only to prove their critics wrong. I know I’d much want to if in their shoes.
But even genuine refugees are nowadays typically deemed ‘fake’ or economic refugees, especially on social media. Yet, many are rightfully despondent, perhaps enough so to work very hard in cashless exchange for basic food and shelter.
Of course, all of that no longer matters when they die in their attempt at arriving. Like in January 2022, when a young family of four from India froze to death trying to access the U.S. via sub-zero southern Manitoba, Canada [near the US border].
I hope those politicians don’t consider or call themselves Christian.
