Like you mentioned, the thing that causes millions of people needing to move in a short timescale these days is caused by humans, ie. wars. Even if sea-level rise is as bad as the most dire predictions and the Bangladeshis can't find a way to build some dikes, it will still take many multiple decades for parts of Bangladesh to become "uninhabitable".
- skh 8y agoI mentioned relatively short time scales. I'm thinking multi decade time scales and not something like wars. If the predictions of sea level rise are correct then the problem won't be to just one region. It will be world wide and the resulting migrations/chaos will be catastrophic for nations and people. I was just giving an example of how the scale has changed now versus 5000 years ago.
