FUTURE
CLIMATE REFUGEES
Tomgram, A
Look at the Worst
Still, despite ever more
powerful weather disruptions -- what the news now likes to call “extreme weather”
events, including monster typhoons,
hurricanes, and winter storms, wildfires,
heat waves,droughts, and global temperature
records -- disaster has still seemed far enough off.
Despite a drumbeat of news about startling environmental changes -- massive ice melts in Arctic
waters, glaciers shrinking worldwide,
the Greenland ice shieldbeginning to melt, as
well as the growing acidification of ocean
waters -- none of this, not even Superstorm Sandy smashing into
that iconic global capital, New York, and drowning part of itssubway system,
has broken through as a climate change 9/11. Not in the United States
anyway.
We’ve gone, that is, from no motion to slow motion to a kind of denial of motion. And yet in the scientific community, where people continue to study the effects of global warming, the tone is changing. It is, you might say, growing more apocalyptic. Just in recent weeks, a report from the National Academy of Scientists suggested that “hard-to-predict sudden changes” in the environment due to the effects of climate change might drive the planet to a “tipping point.” Beyond that, “major and rapid changes [could] occur” -- and these might be devastating, including that “wild card,” the sudden melting of parts of the vast Antarctic ice shelf, driving sea levels far higher.
At the same time, the renowned climate scientist James Hansen and 17 colleagues published a hair-raising report in the journalPLoS. They suggest that the accepted target of keeping global temperature rise to two degrees Celsius is a fool’s errand. If global temperatures come anywhere near that level -- the rise so far has been less than one degree since the industrial revolution began -- it will already be too late, they claim, to avoid disastrous consequences.
Consider this the background “temperature” for Dahr Jamail’s latest piece for TomDispatch, an exploration of what climate scientists just beyond the mainstream are thinking about how climate change will affect life on this planet. What, in other words, is the worst that we could possibly face in the decades to come? The answer: a nightmare scenario. So buckle your seat belt. There’s a tumultuous ride ahead. Tom

I
grew up planning for my future, wondering which college I would attend, what to
study, and later on, where to work, which articles to write, what my next book
might be, how to pay a mortgage, and which mountaineering trip I might like to
take next.
Now,
I wonder about the future of our planet. During a recent visit with my
eight-year-old niece and 10- and 12-year-old nephews, I stopped myself from
asking them what they wanted to do when they grew up, or any of the future-oriented
questions I used to ask myself. I did so because the reality of their
generation may be that questions like where they will work could be replaced
by: Where will they get their fresh water? What food will be available? And
what parts of their country and the rest of the world will still be habitable?

Biography[edit]
André and Magda were
married in 1926. They had four children: Nelly, Jean-Pierre, Jacques, and
Daniel.[1] In
1938, Pastor André Trocmé and the Reverend Edouard Theis founded the Collège
Lycée International Cévenol in Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, France. Its initial purpose was to prepare local country
youngsters to enter the university. When the refugees arrived, it also took in
many Jewish young people wishing to continue their secondary education.
When France France Switzerland
With the help of many
dedicated people, families were located who were willing to accommodate Jewish
refugees; members of the community reported to the railroad station to gather
the arriving refugees, and the town's schools were prepared for the increased
enrollment of new children, often under false names. Many village families and
numerous farm families also took in children whose parents had been shipped to
concentration camps in Germany Vichy
These activities
eventually came to the attention of the anti-Jewish Vichy Vichy Vichy
In February 1943, Trocmé
was arrested along with The Reverend Edouard Theis and the public school
headmaster Roger Darcissac. Sent to Saint-Paul
d’Eyjeaux, an internment camp near Limoges
