The Great Climate Migration Has Begun
The Great Climate Migration Has Begun
New York Times Magazine July 24, 2020 By ABRAHM LUSTGARTEN New research suggests climate change will cause humans to move in unprecedented numbers. The Times Magazine partnered with ProPublica and data scientists to understand how. As the planet warms, the global trend toward building walls could have a profound and lethal effect. By 2070, the kind of extremely hot zones, like in the Sahara, that now cover less than 1 percent of the earth’s land surface could cover nearly a fifth of the land, potentially placing one of every three people alive outside the climate niche where humans have thrived for thousands of years. I wonder what President Abraham Lincoln of the United States would say to the world regarding climate change in his inaugural address on Wednesday, January 20, 2021? "So very difficult a matter is it to trace and find out the truth of anything by history." -- Plutarch |
