The Greenhouse Effect is mainly caused by human activities and it is increasing every year. Some of the major activities are industrial processes, wasteful lifestyle, transportation, and electricity. These activities produces carbon dioxide, methane, nitro oxide, water vapor, and other gases. With the increase of emissions, gases are stuck on Earth, increasing temperatures. That leads to climate change and it includes more powerful storms, longer and heavier floods and monsoon seasons, and sea level rises.¹ With these changes, it’s impacting many third world countries' people. Citizens within the third world countries that are affected are legally known as displaced persons. These displaced persons are only temporary moving away from climate changes until the climate slowly goes back the “normal weather patterns.” However, many scientists and reporters are referring them as climate refugees.
