Look at the situation. Look at the long range implications over the next few decades.
The weather is getting erratic. The climate is changing. 2016 and 2020 have tied for the hottest years on record.
If this continues unabated, Central America will become unlivable. Crops won't grow. Water for irrigation will become scarce. It will simply be too hot to work outside.
When sustenance farming and even industrial farming is no longer is possible in Central America, take a wild guess where all those people are going to want to go.
South is not an option.
They will all want to come here.
If you think immigration has been a problem up until now, you ain't seen nuthin yet.
The USA needs to take the lead in Climate Change mitigation efforts or we are going to see immigration knocking at our southern border on an unprecedented scale.
Just sayin...
"Bill Gates:
Well, I mean, that the natural ecosystems die off, things like all the coral reefs.
I mean that the beaches disappear. You have you know trees dying off and lots of wildfires. You have the ability to grow food in the Southern grow food in the Southern part of the U.S. is dramatically reduced.
For the world, it will create literally tens of millions of climate refugees, because the closer you are to the equator, the more unlivable that it gets. And so it makes the pandemic look small. The death rate by the end of the century would be over five times the worst of the — what we have had in this pandemic."
"The poorest in the world live near the equator. And they are subsistence farmers. And when they don't see that they are able to feed their family, that creates incredible instability and incredible migration. And so this will be the world's biggest migration ever, as those areas become unlivable, where they have crop failures and they aren't able to work outdoors."
