Climate change linked to possible mass Mexican migration to U.S
Scientists are predicting another consequence of climate change: mass migration to the United States.
Between 1.4 million and 6.7 million Mexicans could migrate to the U.S. by 2080 as climate change reduces crop yields and agricultural production in Mexico, according to a study published online this week. The number could amount to 10% of the current population of Mexicans ages 15 to 65.
