There aren't very many climate refugees as of present (2024), {{qn}} but there could be hundreds of millions in the future if climate change continues to worsen.<br />
* Hot-weather countries may become too hot to live in.<br />
* Coastal regions would be flooded if [[Why climate change makes ocean levels rise|ocean levels rise]].<br />
* Some places may experience too many extreme weather events.<br />
<!-- OLD:<br />
Canada might be a good place for climate refugees to settle in the future, as there are currently [[population|vast areas of almost-uninhabited land]] in the north (extremely cold, but would become warmer with climate change). And it would be fair because Canada's carbon emissions, per capita, have been 3 times higher than the rest of the world. <ref>[https://www.statista.com/statistics/1290653/per-capita-emissions-in-canada/ Per capita CO<sub>2</sub> emissions in Canada 1970-2022 - Statista]</ref><br />
--><br />
==Why {{(}}US, Canada, and Europe{{)}} should welcome them==<br />
* <!--While [[climate change]] makes hot countries less habitable, -->Canada has an abundance of very cold land that would become ''more'' habitable.<br />
* All history considered: US, Canada, and Europe have [https://ourworldindata.org/contributed-most-global-co2 emitted more carbon] than the rest of the world combined {{x|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'').<br />
* People in poor countries suffer the most from climate change, despite having contributed to it the least.</div>Elie
