(Art-race: human-race) In addition, the warming of the Earth will cause terrible floods, droughts and storms in many areas, making some island nations likely to disappear.

The report said that in the next five years there will be at least 50 million migrants worldwide due to climate change or natural disasters. By the end of this century, people who had to leave their homeland for the same reason could reach 150 million, even 400 million.

Although the concept of " weather refuge " has been around since 1940, it was not until the Tri-na typhoon in the US more than a year ago that when natural disasters caused catastrophic consequences for people. In the whole of a wealthy American city, the world is well aware that migration is not only due to war and poverty, but also because the environment is turned upside down.

Due to climate change, the area of ​​the desert now accounts for a quarter of the Earth's area and is home to 8% of the world's population, about 500 million people.

Meanwhile, at the current rate of fossil fuel consumption, the greenhouse gas CO 2 effect will double by 2100, increasing the Earth's temperature by 1 to 3.5 degrees Celsius, making sea ​​level increased from 9 to 99 cm, causing the fastest climate change in the last 10,000 years.

Consequently, millions more people will die from disease, crop failure, fishing and beach tourism every year. The Alaca Peninsula (USA) will be melted, a series of countries will be invaded by sea. Tuvanu and a number of small Pacific islands may sink into the sea within 50 years.
