Another great American migration is now underway, this time forced by the warming that is altering how and where people can live. For now, it’s just a trickle. But in the corners of the country’s most vulnerable landscapes — on the shores of its sinking bayous and on the eroding bluffs of its coastal defenses — populations are already in disarray.
Speaking of flooding, if people think there’s a “flood” of immigrants at the border today, wait until poorer countries start feeling the effects of climate change in a very major way in a few years…
The people in charge of the US and EU are very much aware, that’s why they’ve been working so hard to criminalize migration and make it so refugees can be thrown out without full hearings. Their solution to this is trying to make it so all the poor brown people die quietly out of sight of their voters.
Dark joke of the day
What do you call 25,000 dead brown people at the border?
Camouflage for the 5,000 under them.
Not to mention the “flood” of US citizens from states destroyed from climate change. The sanctuary states better start building housing.
