Claim: ‘Climate change’ could ’cause languages to die’ – ‘May affect linguistic diversity’ – ‘A leading driver of language loss’

World Economic Forum: Could climate change cause languages to die? “An increase in climate-change related natural disasters may affect linguistic diversity.”

Babbel Mag: “Climate change is also endangering the survival of many of the world’s most at-risk linguistic populations. As these communities get displaced due to rising sea levels and climatic changes that disrupt their agricultural and fishing industries, it becomes inevitably more difficult for small languages to remain viable as its speakers scatter around the globe and are forced to assimilate to local cultures.”

(a) the climate is supposed to be changing, and

(b) we're still in the tail end of an ice age - the Earth's temperature is still significantly below the long-term average on the geologic scale - the only scale that matters to the Earth itself.

If the natural progression of the Earth's climate is going to make certain languages go extinct, then maybe you should get off your duff and start recording that language for posterity, rather than trying to stop the Earth from changing naturally.

The way people today use the English language, including college professors, we don't need help destroying our language.  But heat and cold don't seen to have any effect on it.
