8. Here's an easy and important way to think about climate change...

I learned this from a lecture I attended a few years ago by a group of climate scientists from around the world. What one said stuck in my mind and I've thought about it many times.

It's that... places that are dry, will get drier and places that are wet, will get wetter.

That applies to anywhere. It doesn't matter where you are if either of those things are proximal you are going to be affected.

They painted a picture where the entire world population will be shifted as a result making most of us migrants even within our own countries.

We are just seeing the tip of iceberg now.
