With global climate change upon us, it is imperative to start thinking about the massive numbers of people who will be displaced by environmental crises. The rise in sea levels alone will account for hundreds of millions of refugees around the globe.   In Rising Tides, John R. Wennersten and Denise Robbins face the difficult questions that will have to be How will people be relocated and settled? Is it possible to offer environmental refugees temporary or permanent asylum? Will these refugees have any collective rights in the new areas they inhabit? And lastly, who will pay the costs of all the affected countries during the process of resettlement?

This book is not about sea level and climate change, it is about migrations and refugees around the world, most of are due to war, climate. My interest is strictly in the science of climate change and not at all in war refugees.
