The crazy part is that climate change is going to drive the largest human migration ever as regions become less habitable. The people in arid equatorial regions are headed north and the immigration to nations in northern latitudes is going to be epic. The immigration trickle we see now is nothing compared to the flood we’re creating by continuing to destroy the Earth’s ecosystems.
They are getting hit with the consequences of a century of industrialization while we have reaped the benefits in the US and Europe. We owe it to them to at least let them take refuge.
Concerns of migration is absolutely related to concerns on climate change, it’s just people in general haven’t put those two things together yet.
Keep repeating it and you ensure that self-fulfilling prophecy feedback loop.
Ahahahah, it’s a trick question!
What the fuck do they think people will be migrating for. If we had addressed climate change much of the migration wouldn’t happen. There’d be far fewer droughts and famines and political instability to flee from.
As they aren’t even allowed to talk about the fear openly.
There’s an entire political party built around it and you think people can’t talk about it openly?
Look at the up votes here. I don’t think it is encouraged in any sense.
If lemmy was the entire EU voting block the world would be a very different place. It’s not encouraged here, but here is not the entire EU.
True.
That is mainly because the fear of migration tends to sound completely bat shit crazy when put into words, at least at the levels that aren’t related to climate change making large parts of Earth’s warm and dry regions uninhabitable.

Mainly because people who are anti-immigrant moan about “unbearable” rates of immigration at immigration rates far below 1% of the existing population and have prejudices like the ones in your comment about immigrants being criminals or replacing the local culture or language even at those comparatively low numbers.
With a much higher birth rate tho.
