Ultimately, climate change will be a fight for resources. As more people are pushed out of areas that can no longer produce food and safe shelter others will try to stop them. We are seeing that with the influx of migrants into the U.S. and Western Europe. We are headed in to a societal crisis the world has never seen due to climate change. It's started and it will only get worse. Most of the current population will not see its affects but the crisis is real and it will be harsh for future generations. In the past, the way people have dealt with extreme resource scarcity has been war. There's nothing to say that won't happen again.

It really is what should be at the top of people's minds. We need to reduce its affects and get ready for the changes that are coming.

dont be ridiculous, we are seeing ECONOMIC migrants.

Im not saying we will not see climate/disaster migrants, but the overshadowing majority of migrants are economic opportunists, that are eying the possibility of a better life in Europe/USA. This is why in Europe they overwhelmingly seek to the countries with the largest welfare schemes.

I dont blame them, why wouldnt they do this? but dont fall for the obvious lies about WHY they come.
