This book addresses the nexus between science and migration and examines how the two are inextricably intertwined. The Science of Climate Migration primarily addresses the science of global climate change and additionally examines how this change is more than a region being too hot, too cold, too dry, too wet, or too windy; rather it is also about heightened military tensions, political instability, and myriad other factors. History has shown that this change is felt most acutely in developing countries that are least equipped to adapt. This inability to adapt is considered to be a driver that motivates local residents to find "greener pastures" through migration. Further, the book discusses the increasing need for the implementation and utilization of non-polluting renewables for use in energy production as a means to stave off environmental crises.Features Examines how and why climate change effects and human migration are inextricably intertwined Discusses the increasing need for the implementation of non-polluting renewables for use in energy production as a means to stave off environmental crises Explains how wildlife is also sensitive to shifts in climate and how this in turn affects their migration as well
