 "...the apocalyptic consequences of climate change have become reality. Many people will be forced to find new places to live. Forecasts vary, but one widely cited study, from the United Nations University, suggests that there will be 200 million environmental migrants by 2050. Both migrants fleeing environmental disaster and those escaping war will be constrained in their choices. But currently only the latter may seek refugee status, and with it the right to safe asylum," (economist.com).

Climate change has created millions of refugees, only adding to those forced out of their homes by war and political reasons. Things like drought, famine, floods, and other "natural" disasters are becoming increasingly common. In 1980, there were somewhere between 75-100 such disasters reported annually but according to the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT), the number has been steadily rising in recent decades- 348 in 2004 and over 50 this year just since April 1!

There are no direct answers as how to help these climate change refugees and slow (or stop!) the ever-rising frequency of the disasters plaguing the Earth. Reducing carbon emissions, recycling, and other seemingly obvious tasks could be enough if done on a large enough scale. The problem citizens of the United States is having is the thought that it is someone else's predicament. Climate change refugees should be welcomed; it could happen to anyone.
