Global environment change and global refugee crises will soon become inextricably interlinked. A fresh tsunami of environment refugees flows across the Earth. We are actually at the moment of truth. Climate change is with us, and we need to take into account the next big disturbing idea - the possibly disastrous results of massive amounts of environmental refugees most importantly on the planet. In 2020, the United Nations projects that we will have 50 million environmental refugees mainly from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. How will people be relocated and settled? Can you really offer environmental refugees non permanent or long term asylum? Will these refugees have any collective rights in the new areas they inhabit? And finally, who'll pay the expenses of all affected countries during the procedure for resettlement? Environmental refugees are an issue beyond the opportunity of an individual country or company. "A must read for policymakers and those in positions of electric power, especially the ones who stay in a state of denial about environment change and refuse to do enough to handle the problems." (The Hindu) "This chilling and immediate proactive approach spares no aspect in its quest to present the facts on a looming humanitarian catastrophe." (Foreword Reviews) "Deals masterfully with a neglected problems, how climate change is traveling migration." (Christopher E. Goldthwait, US ambassador, retired)
