This month, my home country — Turkey — and our neighbor — Syria — were struck by apocalyptic earthquakes. A monumental disaster which has so far killed more than 50,000, injured and traumatized tens of thousands more, and displaced almost six million
But what is occurring in Turkey and Syria is only a glimpse of what is to come. In the past decade, global migrant flows have doubled, and by 2050, up to a billion of our fellow human beings are at risk of displacement from the looming climate disaster.
You read that correctly: One billion.
While, yes, the initial impacts of climate change have fallen more severely on countries that are already more vulnerable due to poor governance, civil unrest, or other forms of instability and stress, climate change is so large a threat that it will eventually batter even the wealthiest and most prepared.
Without the protection of international law, climate refugees frequently get deported en masse. It’s as if we know a wave of earthquakes are coming, yet sit on the sidelines, waiting for the fault lines to erupt.
But I am hopeful that America, which has so often stood up in defense of a more stable, secure, and humanitarian world, will do the right thing.
President Biden has already shifted the American economy towards more sustainable and responsible directions. For instance, the Inflation Reduction Act will hopefully cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2030. But it’s not just the political sphere which is waking up, civil society organizations are increasingly adapting to address climate concerns.

“... the looming climate disaster.....”
Total fascist BS.
What about Volcanoes? Is climate change effecting them. The Tonga Volcano in Jan. 15, 2022 pumped estimated 58 billion tons of ash and gases into the atmosphere and shook the entire planet, what part of climate change caused that? We are feeling the effects of that event with our current strange weather. When climate changers get control of volcanoes, maybe climate changers will have a case.
No, natural cycles change the climate.
"Poor" governance? More like "crooked" government.
Yea!!! Congrats!!!
Actually, the STEM participants probably know that the Earth’s core completely stopped rotating internally, and nobody fell off the face of the Earth. If it reverses direction, climate change will be reversed as well. ..../S
We have to act now or it will be too late again.
GOD is in charge.....we can do NOTHING TO change it!
The author is hysterical and deranged in the extreme.
God lets "free will" take its course. I guarantee you that we could set off enough nukes to affect climate for years.
MAN has free will, but they have NO Way to control the CLIMATE!
You aren’t a Christian, I take it.
Indeed it’s been many colors in the process.
Earthquakes are part of climate change? Oh my...oh my..
I am a Christian; however, I can also observe.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling
They just have to shoehorn in Climate Change with every news item.
And then after we get rid of cars, they will find some other human behavior that causes “climate change”.
Good!! So can MAN change NATURAL CYCLES?? The Godless Leftists think they can!!
Remember the 1970s ice age when 2/3rds of the US was covered in glaciers? Or the heat that had palm trees in Connecticut in the 1980s? 🤓
