Effects of Global Warming on Populations Worldwide |

The report of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and global warming
has predicted that by the year 2050, there will be around 150 millions of
environmental migrants worldwide as a result of global warming, rising from 25
million migrants of 1990. This constitutes only 1.5% of the total population of
2050. But while the worldwide population is rising in a sharp rate, the
migration for global warming is going to be a major threat for generations to
come.
The population migration for global warming is caused mainly for shoreline
erosion, coastal flooding and agricultural disruption. Snow fall and rain fall
will increase as a result of global warming. This will cause floods - both
severe and frequent - as well as mud flows. Higher temperature for global
warming will raise the severity of coastal storms. It will also cause seal level
rise. This will be a direct threat for people living in coastline areas.
But the threat for global warming is equal for urban people as for the shoreline
inhabitants. Urban flooding resulting from high precipitation will be a common
problem everywhere. The severity of global warming will intensify in regions
with old drainage system and limited sewage system. The crowded areas with poor
sanitation systems and water supplies will suffer from floods and landslides.
The warmer regions will experience floods, cyclones, droughts, windstorms,
wildfire and heat waves for global warming destroying communication structure,
buildings, industrial developments and lives. This will raise a dire need for
continuous relocation to safer climate zones.
Already the region near the northern shore of Alaska has been evacuated due to
shore line erosion back to the village precincts for global warming. The human
habitant there has moved almost 60 miles back in land for avoiding scarcity of
food and frequent flooding.
The evidence of Greenland lake incidence of 2008 where ice boulders were left on
fields after a flood for global warming will draw people residing in northern
shoreline of east hemisphere to southward into the countries of European
economic union. Global warming will lead a large population from different parts
of the world, like Northern Africa, Greenland, India, Middle East and China to
migrate. They will rush into European nations for shoreline erosion and desert
expansion as the results of global warming.
This worldwide migration for global warming will restructure the social
infrastructure creating food, water and shelter scarcity, damaging the economic
stability and rising health problems. To fight against such situation countries
with high chances of turning into hostile climate condition are preparing
themselves for global warming migration. Thus Tuvalu, a Pacific island has
signed a contract with New Zealand for allowing phased migration.
New approaches have been taken against global warming for sustainable building
development, apprehensive land usage, and reconstruction of transport and
communication system. Different training courses to fight global warming and
professional teams for climate change planning and life management for global
warming are being prepared. Latest technologies are applied for developing
pollution control systems and waste reduction process. Green transport systems
to control the rate of global warming are being promoted. Mixed ethnical zones
are being encouraged to stabilize the disruption that can be caused for global
warming.
