Experts at the American Progress Research Center said that global warming could cause another migration of peoples, according to the Sentinel Republic.
The Center has published multi-year analysis of ocean level rise and coastline change from storms and other natural disasters. According to the researchers, this information is the best way to show the possible negative consequences of climate warming.
Moreover, they believe that the migration of peoples on our planet has already begun. The first to encounter this were the natives of Alaska.

Their life has become noticeably complicated in recent years. Due to melting ice and water advancing on land, they are forced to leave the villages and move to another place. According to study co-author Kathleen Kelly, while the natives of Alaska are suffering from climate change more than other inhabitants of the Earth.
But this is only the beginning of a global process. Scientists do not exclude that global warming will begin to expel people from cities en masse.
By the way, in Alaska, the natives complain not only about the weather, but also about the lack of assistance from the state, which does not allocate funds for the transfer of settlements to safe places. Which is not surprising given the cost of such work.

As an example, the researchers cited the village of Newtok, which is home to about 350 people. It is estimated that its transfer will cost US $ 130 million.
