Responce for That Which Once Was
In the film, That Which Once Was, someone assert that country shouldn't use tax for helping environmental refugees. I disagree with tis opinion. First, country should use money and revival stricken areas or people because these area's people lost their house and cannot go to work. In Japan's case, Kimberly state that "This region was responsible for 6-8 percent of the country's total production". These area's people shoulders a part of Japanese economy and Fukushima is famous for the fishing industry. Helping these people get benefit for economy. Second, all the people are guaranteed the minimum standard for living. Environmental refugees lost their house, so country should provide living place and promise people's life. Moreover, those people who have no house may commit a crime because of poor. For those reasons, country should help people. Finally, helping refugees show the country's confidence. Relationship between country and citizen have to be strong. Citizen's trust build country stronger. To sum up, helping refugees mean not only moral sense but also build citizen's trust.

What are the effect of climate change?
Now on earth, because of climate change, much nature and many people are effected in various way. Humans violent activity such as burning fuels or use cars lead global warming. For example, handwerk state that "over the last century, the average temperature has climbed about 1 degree Fahrenheit". This shows Arctic ice melts so that low altitude place such as coaster and small island will go under water and lost their house. Next, global warming have a little good things for some area. For example, Handwerk point out that "Summer sea ice breakup in Hudson Bay already occurs two to three weeks early than it did hard a century ago". This show that around Hudson Bay rise temperature and melting ice earlier so that people can do import and export longer and they can make more profit. Finally, recently years, climate change is more violent and some region or people are damaged. For example, Kakissis report that "more people are leaving because of river erosion and dwindling job opportunity". This show that climate change cause flood and wash away their house so that people look for job to another city and other poor area is also in trouble because too many people come and use rare resources. To sum up, climate change have little benefit on specific area ; however, most people are in trouble because they are destroyed their house and lost their job opportunity.
