Communicating about Climate Migration
According to the article titled “The Great Climate Migration” by Abraham Lustgarten, it predicts that in less than one hundred years the world will drastically change. It is projected that by 2080, climate change could force about 6.7 million more people towards the southern United States border. This was quite an interesting read as it is evidence that we as humans, need to ger our acts together and take climate change seriously. We need to do. All we can to combat climate change and make our world a better place to live.
In the article, Jorges family moved to the United States after the realization that climate change is indeed serious, and that him and his family would be affected tremendously. This article gave a lot more insight of the fact that people not only migrate for safety but also migrates to the drastic change in climate. Climate change affects our income which in turn affects our standard of living.
Question:
1. The article was an interesting read, and I was wondering since the US is one of the major contributors to climate change, does a lot of persons still migrate to the United States to get away climate change?
