First, don't feel gross, it's a good question and one that I struggle with as an environmental activist - how to solve these very large problems that only make migration worse and work to protect the environment.
The problem requires a lot of funding, as we're seeing with the Green New Deal, and Americans are not inclined to be taxed. So the question becomes how to prioritize environmental protection and how we deal with incoming climate migrants, because they are the next wave.

I think we need to concentrate on renewable energy jobs so that we can provide confidence that this new economy will work for everyone. If we can curb our fossil fuel consumption and prevent the worst of a changing climate's effects, we will lessen the influx of climate migrants.

I used to work with immigrants and I can tell you first hand, if they can stay in their country they would prefer to do so. We need to provide economic and environmental security so they can do just that.

I see renewable energy not only as a vitally important step for keeping the earth inhabitable, but also the best foreign policy decision we could possibly make. Trump wants to get out of the Middle East? Ok then go green and produce what oil we still need from our own supply...

Taking away the value of oil takes away all the power of hostile nations like Iran, Russia and Syria, and cuts off most of the funding for ISIS. We can save enough money from exiting the forever wars to pay for 5 green new deals
