Well climate change is working in some parts of the world to get the taxpayers to pay for relocation where homes are built on risky shores.

My kid had to report on an article about a village of remote and happy Canadian Indians who will now be forced to relocate at a cost to tax payers of 200m due to global warming. The article further notes that as much as 150million people will eventually need to relocate.

The article failed to mention some other aspects of Canadian Indians who live in remote areas... like this:

A plague of despair: Davis Inlet and Sheshatshiu are villages in Labrador, populated almost entirely by Innu. Until 1993, only a few hundred people had ever heard of them. That was when a videotape surfaced. It showed a group of Innu adolescents screaming that they wanted to die. They were strung out after sniffing gasoline. (Native People--The Innu Of Labrador).(Statistical Data Included)

After a discussion with me, my kid expressed her opinion at the end of the report that people who want or need to relocate should just do it as an individual choice and any government support should be limited to what is needed to meet logistical needs.
