The COVID pandemic is stopping construction projects from proceeding everywhere. One of these is The COVID Housing Construction Slump, in which housing projects are being delayed and even canceled.
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.
Northern Migration Due to Climate Change
11/01/20
“Why will there be a great northern migration due to climate change?”
For the vast majority of human history, the more habitable region of the Earth for humans was closer to the equator, where year-round good weather made it easy to live, work, and produce harvest. However, with the advent of climate change, this part of the globe is becoming hotter and hotter to the point where it might become less habitable. This will spring migration northward, reshaping planetary demographics as we know it. If handled with equity and care, this Northern Migration Due to Climate Change can lead to millions of new residents being integrated into and benefiting their host nation.
