Migration away from storm, flood, fire and desert ravaged areas will cause great pressures on resources and natural environments. Island nations in South Pacific that are disappearing after inundation with rising sea waters are seeing mass exodus of their citizens. These environmental refugees can clearly attribute their troubles to global warming, caused by climate change
Environment Migration Is The Next Wave
Over the 1960s migration of populations is causing demographics changes. The massive amount of development in coastal areas over the whole world is now a cause to be worried. They are now the majority part of worldwide vast population of vulnerable people. It is thought that as many as 40% of the people on earth could be displaced if seas rose half as high as some estimates. Environment migration will be on the rise in this century.
Re-shaping Of Societies By Broken Nations
The movement of these environment migrants will have great impact to the places where they move to. People who are not used to being so closely crowded together will feel threatened. On the other hand, when the migrants from island nations founded on a given belief loose their homeland, they want to be able to settle at another place where they can freely practice their beliefs? Attempts at nation-building in the past have not met with resounding success, to say the least. Environmental refugees created by climate change are a trend that is going to stay with us for the next 50 to 100 years or more. It is going to have long lasting impact on the social landscape of many countries.
