This is serious folks. The Pentagon has been warning us for years about the instability a changing climate will create across the globe. We need to transition to a renewable fuel economy and pronto.
I hate selling it like this because it just feels gross, but: Europe is struggling with a few million migrants, the US is terrified of a 4,000 person caravan, what about hundreds of millions of people? How would the world handle 300,000,000 African/middle eastern refugees?
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.
