 It is not neccessary for governments of rich countries to help the foreign environmental refugees. The foreign environmental refugees can use their own resources from disaster. As Handwerk(2004) states, "The effects of a warming globe may not be entirely negative"(para.12). Environmental refugees appear because of disaster like ice metling from global warming, and they can take advantge of this terrible situation by using the heat. In addition, there are too many environmental refugees to be helped. Specifically, experts on migration says, "tens of millions more people in the developing world could be on the move because of disasters"(Kaklsiss, 2010, para 2).

 In the article Environmental Refugees Unable to Return Home by Joanna Kakissis, some experts state that because of the natural disasters, which are caused by getting worse climate, countless numbers of developing country's people move.

It means that they can't go back to their home due to very serious disaster. However, many people live in slums in Dhaka, and the places are easy to meet global warming. To aid these people, several international organizations are trying.
