Rising Sea Levels Force A Wave Of Climate Migration
Douglas McIntyre highlights how rising sea levels are forcing mass migrations, using Papua New Guinea as a striking example, where tens of thousands are relocating to higher ground. He connects this to similar challenges in the U.S., including flooded neighborhoods in Queens, storm-surge damage in Florida, and vulnerable coastal regions in California and Maui. McIntyre emphasizes how climate-driven migration is becoming an increasingly urgent global issue.
