  1. Absolute idiots. Migration is going to get far worse because of climate change (Listen up USA). Dealing with the symptom does nothing. You have to deal with the cause.

  2. This is the problem with politics.

    Most people are too dumb to see how things are connected.

    Climate change is already making places like India unliveable.

    If these idiots really don’t want more immigrants, they would want their govt to focus primarily on cutting CO2 emissions.

    Because whether they like it or not, once those areas become unliveable, those people are going to go north.

    And no amount of borders or racist policies or anything, really, will stop them.

    For context, the bronze age collapse was caused in part due to invasions from people displaced by what anthropologists believe was volcanic activity in northern europe.

    No one is just going to go “oh, i guess i’ll just sit here and starve to death because the northern folk don’t like us”.

  3. AND? This is not a new thing. Poor people struggle to live, they have zero concerns for the environment.

  4. That’s what the oil industry and the conservatives want them to think. They couldn’t be more wrong.

  5. The one directly causes the other. Climate crisis is what is driving migration.

  6. Ignoring the fact that its climate change CAUSING the migration.

    We really are just a species of talking apes who think we’re much more clever than we really are.

  7. It will be a sad day when the US and/or Europe will start shooting at immigrants. That will happen unless we change course.
    Migration waves order of magnitude bigger than what we are seeing will result in deadly conflict.

  8. Most refugees destroy their passport so they can be anyone. My country harbors many mass murderers from Rwanda and Pakistan. Can’t send them back since they would get killed so they stay here. Nice system /s

  9. At this point, it’s kinda funny watching people prefer racism over rationality as the world burns. It really drives home the fact that this will be one of many factors in how humanity falls.
