Refugees Are Fleeing Climate Change

Tens of millions of people could be displaced by climate change by the end of this century. Climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer explains why that matters, why he supports the right to migrate, and what governments need to do to prepare.

This is absurd!

Is there any term/phrase for "efforts put by a climate refugee to adapt to the new place"? This is part of my school assignment .

The people of the USA will have to leave their home when the USA will have become a desert.Canada is advised to built a wall to keep them from messing up their country as well.

Hello Dr, I am curious about why there are no comments on this video. This topic usually attracts debate from both sides of the argument. Do you delete comments from so called "deniers"?

[@hayuwijayanti9790]

Stanley Goddard You may be correct about "there are not both sides of the argument" but ironically, the Co2 AGW side is yet to put up an actual argument that can stand up against debate.
Sea levels are not showing any rising trend. Just because you say so, doesnt make it so. You have a little problem with recording stations around the world (Fort Denersen, Sydney, Aust) that have over 100 years of data that destroy your fake data. Fort Denersen shows that sea levels have fallen slightly since the 1950's...PERIOD!! You also have the Swedish expert who resigned from the IPCC over IPCC's sea level fraud.
Raw temp data shows the planet has cooled slightly. PERIOD!!! Altering the data to produce fraudulent reports does not make your Co2 scam real.
You only fool the fools

Generally speaking, we only delete comments that are offensive or spam. And just to clarify, Dr. Oppenheimer does not moderate this account. It's moderated by The YEARS Project team.

@Stanley Goddard Let me also add that the sea level rise is not the same everywhere, certain areas will see lowering/stay the same, many people imagine the ocean as a perfect surface that is even at all places. The overall trend shows rising tho at 3.3mm/year currently.

Regional planning agencies AND utility companies like National Grid must educate policy making legislatures and communities against the multiple environmental, economic and life quality hazards of continued over immigration. Too much of anything is no good; humanity knew this long before the ancient Grecian states. This is especially true of over population as it drives up the cost and down the quantity and quality of every basic human necessity, while paving over CO2 consuming green space and extincting species. Except for its obvious benefits to politicians (both the Trumps and the Bidens) for expanding voter pools and to wealthy investors for keeping consumption levels high and real wage growth stagnant, over immigration is absolute madness. The true motives for perpetuating it must be exposed and its rate-across all ethnicities, ages, education and economic classes-must be strongly reduced and regulated down into harmlessness. For their part, would be immigrants need to behave like mature and responsible adults and not like helpless innocent kids by reforming the governments and diversifying the economies of their homelands. No matter who they are everyone needs to stop acting and wishing like the whole world can live in the United States. AND this all needs to happen immediately. As for the environmental risks said to be facing South Americans th-cam.com/video/GQpqmltcvJM/w-d-xo.html , numerous states in America have long threatened communities with earthquakes, floods, sinkholes, wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes droughts and other hazards-and will only grow more frequent, intense and prolonged due to human-induced climate change. In a world of rapidly shrinking resources and a thoroughly insane birth rate (>> 100 million/year since the early 1960s), it must be up to each nation and its citizens to do what they can to protect and advance themselves.

Dr, what do you say to those who see that NOAA, NASA, BOM, UK Met( just to name a few) have been rewriting the historical data to change what was a slight cooling trend, into a warming trend. Also, what do you say to those who see that sea levels are not showing any trend or that Arctic and Antarctic ice always has net growth of many trillions of tons every year?

Stanley Goddard Hey Wu Mao troll, go to the NASA web site and see the 1988 temp graph by the hack scientist, James Hansen. It shows cooling. Then see his next graph that showed warming. You BS artists are a joke
