>And then you mix migration driven by climate change
Do you seriously believe the migration is driven by climate change, not by the difference in life quality driven by political/cultural differences?
- zimablue 8y agoWater crisis contributes to Syria/ISIS contributes to migration is one where I think the cause-effect is quite clear, I could be wrong.
- lukeschlather 8y agoDo you seriously believe that climate change isn't a factor? One need look no further than the Maldives for an extreme example, but there are little examples all over. Obviously people migrate for lots of different reasons, but climate change is becoming a serious one for a lot of people.
- john_moscow 8y agoI seriously think that differences between countries in factors like medical care, corruption, education, religious freedom/etc outweigh the climate issues by a huge margin. And climate-driven migration would normally mean moving to a different climate, not trying to offset the ~1 degree Celcius change that is observable as of today.
