Depopulation From Climate Migration

11/02/20

“Why will towns be abandoned due to climate migration?”

Many towns, cities, and villages are built to withstand a certain climate. However, as the weather becomes more unstable due to runaway GHG emissions, conditions will be pushed beyond the brink of habitability. This will cause climate migration out of the area, which could empty the once-thriving areas. Although it’s small right now, this Depopulation From Climate Migration will become more prominent as more fires burn, heat waves rise, and the sea devours more land.
