Different Classes Feeling the Effects of Climate Change

The Philippines has fallen victim to their second major hurricane since 2013, leaving millions in danger of flooding, high winds and further destruction of their homes. After watching the movie Disruption, which is about climate change and why people should care, it made me think about their claim that people of different socio-economic statuses feel the effects of climate change more so than others. The first thing that comes to my mind when combating this claim is that these people CHOOSE to live here and they could leave if they wanted to. The truth of it is that they cannot. They don’t want to leave their homes and the people that understand them.

I think about my own beach house and if someone had told me to just leave it behind and let it get washed away with Super Storm Sandy. People are not going to let go, regardless of how real climate change is. There are simply things people will always care about more.

    I think that mother nature is a force that humans must realize we cannot reckon with. The earth has a way of wreaking havoc regardless of whether or not humans live in affected areas. It is important to pay attention to the fact that people do not want to leave their homes or families, but if a situation becomes dire enough and comes to survival vs your home, I think it is ridiculous not to leave. So, what can you do for people who refuse to leave? I think bolstering natural disaster refugee accommodations and implementing some sort of monetary compensation for those without insurance to keep them on their feet would be the way to go.
