The film turns the distant concept of global warming into a concrete human problem with enormous worldwide consequences. Experts predict that by mid-century hundreds of millions of people will be uprooted as a result of sea level rise and an increase in extreme weather events, droughts and desertification. Little is being done to plan for the potential mass migration of millions of refugees who will be forced to cross national borders. According to the UN, there are already more environmental refugees in the world than political or religious refugees. The Pentagon now considers climate change a national security risk and the phrase "climate wars" is being talked about in war-rooms. The filmmakers traveled the world for nearly 3 years to document the impact of climate change, witnessing inhabitants of countries forced to leave their homes by climatic events with little or no protection. The film features a variety of leading scientists, relief workers, security consultants, and major political figures, including John Kerry and Newt Gingrich. All make a strong case that, whether human-caused or a product of nature, the changing climate is already creating humanitarian disasters and will inevitably lead to worldwide political instability. Climate Refugees was filmed in Bangladesh, Tuvalu, China, Fiji, Chad, Sudan, Kenya, Maldives, Europe and the US. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Human beings|xUEffect of climate on. 650 0 Climatic changes. 650 0 Forced migration. 650 0 Environmental degradation. 650 0 Global warming. 650 0 Sustainable development. 650 0 Global environmental change. 650 0 Global environmental change|xPolitical aspects. 650 0 Global environmental change|xEconomic aspects. 650 0 Greenhouse effect, Atmospheric. 655 7 Documentary films.|2lcgft 700 1 Nash, Michael P.,|efilm director. 700 1 Hogan, Justin,|eproducer. 710 2 Kanopy (Firm) 914 kan1171081
