Much as polar bears and walruses must move ashore as Arctic sea ice recedes in response to climate change, people around the world also must move as climate change raises sea levels, changes precipitation patterns and otherwise forces them from their homes and communities.  The film documentary Climate Refugees: The Human Face of Climate Change, by Michael P. Nash, vividly illustrates the consequences.   See the trailer below.
