Today, millions of people have been displaced from their homes and villages as a result of fluctuations in climate patterns world wide. They leave behind them not just their homes but the graves of friends and family along with the hopes and dreams they had for the future.

These people are referred to as Climate Refugees. Climate Refugees are people displaced by climatically induced environmental disasters.

As the planet’s human populations continue grow to reach the 7 billion mark predicted to be reached in this year of 2011, and as we continue to see dramatic changes in the earth’s traditional climate patterns, for certain the numbers of climate refugees will grow and their migrations increase. This is a pattern that has been repeated over and over again in the evolution of not only humans but of all life on earth.

We are all engaged in the CONSEQUENCES of climate change whether we realize it or not, or believe that ‘global warming’ is happening or not. The question is, will we come together as a global people, gather our collective will and do something about it?
