Show Notes
Dr. Michael McGlade, Professor of Geography, Sustainability and Latin American Studies at Western Oregon University, talks about how climate change is leading to the displacement and migration of families to the United States. He speaks about historic forces that have driven displacement in the Northern Triangle countries of Central America including colonialism, transnational corporations and the drug trade. Climate change is the next looming crisis for the United States and globally, requiring new migration policies that are cooperative, compassionate and pragmatic.
