At a climate conference in Warsaw in November, there was an emotional outpouring from countries that face existential threats, among them Bangladesh, which produces just 0.3 percent of the emissions driving climate change. Some leaders have demanded that rich countries compensate poor countries for polluting the atmosphere. A few have even said that developed countries should open their borders to climate migrants.
Its a matter of global justice, said Atiq Rahman, executive director of the Bangladesh Center for Advanced Studies and the nations leading climate scientist. These migrants should have the right to move to the countries from which all these greenhouse gases are coming. Millions should be able to go to the United States.[/QUOTE
We can only stick our heads in the sand for so long. The climate change deniers are going to have to face reality. Without the will to even consider Immigration Reform, we are leaving ourselves open to a looming disaster as millions will be looking for another home.
