RESPONSE : THAT WHICH ONCE WAS

         In "That Which Once Was", a person in radio states that the government should not spend country's tax dollars to help environmental refugees because the country has many problems need to solve, so they should not support or have responsibility for refugees; however, I oppose this opinion because natural disasters is global problem. According to the article " Global Warming", by Handwerk "over the last million years, Earth has fluctuated  between cold and warmer periods.  The shift have occurred in roughly 100,000 year intervals though to be regulated by sunlight. Earth's sunlight quota depends upon its orbit and celestial orientation.". It is the problem of the Earth that no one or anything can stop it, and nobody  wants this problem because everybody wants to have a peaceful life and prosperity of happiness. Therefore everybody and specially the governments should collaborate with all people,who are under the effects of these disasters to support and help them. Also, according to the article " Environmental Refugees Unable to Return Home," by Joanna Kakissis, who mentions that environmental refugees move into cities, making those cities be overpopulated, and that make them huge losses in material and spiritual. In paragraph 4  "Environmental refugees have lost everything, said Rabab Fatima, the South Asia representative of the International Organization for Migration. "They don't have the money to make a big move. they move to the next village, the next town and eventually to a city". It is clear that after occurring a disaster, people lose everything they have such as family, house, money, job, etc; therefore, they have to move to cities to find refuge for themselves. In brief, everybody and every country are a little responsible for the acceleration of global warming and the rising of disaster occurrence; therefore, people and special the governments should help all the environmental refugees because they can be of the human resources to develop the country, where helps them to have a place to refuge.
