Climate change could lead to mass migration as people head north to survive

The Earth's temperature is expected to drastically increase over the next 50 years, which will likely force entire nations of people to travel north for survival. ProPublica senior environmental reporter Abrahm Lustgarten mapped out what this migration might look like. He joined CBSN to discuss.

Blame the fossil fuel companies that knew about global warming in the 1970’s and did nothing

I wonder if anyone will be here in 15 years

Why can't climate refugees migrate south as well as north?

“Young energetic work-force?” Is that code for “exploitable, cheap wage-slaves”? This puff- piece does not begin to approach the reality of the NEAR TERM EXTINCTION, that we are facing. Good job avoiding panic at the cost of telling the truth. Not a very convincing sell.

There is enough people who need jobs here, send them back

The state of American education is beyond a joke. People hate science in the US.

Isn`t it amazing how climate change and "FREE STUFF" will do that?

Things humanity will have to deal with over the next decade: The climate crisis, the biodiversity crisis, the global economic depression, technology destroying 100s millions of jobs around the world, the anti-biotic apocalypse (forgotten about), where more and more bugs are resistant to drugs, and finally, probably another pandemic as we cut down forests and jungles, meaning more human/animal connection.... Tough to see how we can deal with all this in such a short period of time!

Funny because, I'm following scientist that say we are cooling..

Chile has a bunch of job openings. Move south to get there. Much nicer country. Our country is full.

I once saw this political cartoon where there was a map of the United States of America. In the image,  all of the landlocked states were in red with one big word bubble that said "climate change is a myth." Meanwhile,  all of the coastal/southern border states were blue with multiple word bubbles that said "we beg to differ" since those landlocked states don't experience the impacts of climate change that the coastal states do. Also, you'd figure that more Conservative Evangelicals would actually care about climate change and it's impacts on society. Keep in mind, The Bible does say that the Earth is God's gift to man, and it's our duty to take care of it and everyone and everything on it. But, even if they found a way around this, you'd figure that they would at least want to prevent millions of migrants from countries that are no longer habitable from wanting to come to America in the future.

Mars is the only relief we have from our home planet burning up in just five decades. Scary thought for future generations so we had better reverse it by not injecting fossil fuel into the ozone layer. I have noriced in my state that weather is more mild and our snowy weather is going into states never experiencing snow and sleet.

Or maybe, just maybe they're headed to where the money and freedom is. Of course it all depends on who we elect.

Want me to fix?
Protect my theoretical, but provable practical functional eco tech. We are going on 15 yrs behind where I was handing it out when I was hardcore on this. This is our time being displaced because individuals get singled out in order to attempt to weaponize and monopolize.

How much is 5G linked to this? Lol
LMFAO
