Among other big challenges that our planet, Earth, is facing – there is one more challenge: the big-time climate migration. We are not taking this issue as seriously as we should take.
In many parts of the world, sea rise is occurring by the year. With rising temperatures melting polar ice, the oceans are expanding and the seas are rising. The result is floods and land erosion.
In matter of years, the inhabitants of coastal areas will be forced to leave their homes which will result in massive climate migration.
Can you imagine the exodus of millions of 'climate refugees'? Just imagine, the chunk of a whole region's population crossing over to safer areas to demand homes? How will this kind of a global epidemic be controlled? We must address this problem of 'climate refugees': Now!
