Climate refugees

A climate refugee is someone who had to leave their home country because of it being uninhabitable due to climate change.

There aren't very many climate refugees as of present (2024), ^{[QUANTIFICATION needed]} but there could be hundreds of millions in the future if climate change continues to worsen.

• Hot-weather countries may become too hot to live in.
• Coastal regions would be flooded if ocean levels rise.
• Some places may experience too many extreme weather events.

Why {US, Canada, and Europe} should welcome them

• Canada has an abundance of very cold land that would become more habitable.
• All history considered: US, Canada, and Europe have emitted more carbon than the rest of the world combined (...)( and the fact that China's emissions are high in recent decades is mostly from manufacturing things that Westerners buy )(even moreso if you look at per capita).
• People in poor countries suffer the most from climate change, despite having contributed to it the least.
