The effects of climate change are expected to push more than 200 million people from their homes by 2050, according to the World Bank. The impacts are already being felt in the southern U.S. state of Louisiana, where four major weather disasters struck in a nine month period. VOA’s Steve Baragona reports from the state’s coastal southwest, where the damage has devastated the local economy and led to a drop in population.
