What's the relationship between climate and migration and how long it will be before #climatechange begins to accelerate migration?
The answer is more complicated and significantly less apocalyptic than the headlines suggest.
The biggest refugee movement Europe experienced in the last decade was not caused by rising seas, failed harvests or climate collapse. It was caused by war.

Che, poi, a me dispiace essere noioso, scrivere e riscrivere sempre sugli stessi argomenti.
E' che io che sto qui, quasi Austria, ho sempre pensato che se fossi morto a causa del clima, sarebbe stato con il freddo.
Invece qua, anzi ovunque, si schiatta per il caldo, che è una cosa per me inconcepibile ed insopportabile.
Sopra i 20°, per me, è tutto più brutto, ma tanto di più.
Con tutta la responsabilità che abbiamo.
Tutta.

While renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels in nearly all circumstances, fossil fuels are more profitable, because useful reserves are limited and can each be monopolised by a single corporation, while prices can suddenly take flight in times of war or chaos.

3/ And for Canadians across this land, it is a kick in the teeth to call this climate bomb of a project “in the national interest”. It is in Big Oil’s interest for sure. But it doesn’t do a damn thing for people struggling with the cost of food and housing, increased costs from privatized healthcare, and of course the daily anxiety of climate breakdown.
2/ What is our government doing? This project defies common sense - this is corporate welfare on a surreal scale, giving a gift to an industry making $90 billion in excess profits this year, and which still refuses to pay for its own infrastructure. It makes a mockery of the duty to consult First Nations, guaranteed under our constitution. You can’t approve a project and then engage in consultation: that is just a pipeline to the courts.
