Everyone "knows" what is coming with Global Warming. The Syrian refugee crisis was a very minor dry run, and the world failed. In a similar fashion to Covid being a "minor" pandemic by historical / black death standards, being a dry run to see the mass discipline of modern society (it UTTERLY failed). The world does not have the current capacity to handle mass population migrations of possibly a billion people that global warming will likely bring. The next century will bring continued technological development, but ultimately the spiraling environmental problems and reduction of natural resources/reserves will squeeze the population. Perhaps lower fecundity of the world population in general is explained by mass economic development and leisure economy distractions. Or maybe it is the economic and technological squeeze being placed on everyone that is doing it. Anyway, a wise man once taught me that wars over resource scarcity (e.g. the Sudan civil war was mostly about water) break down on ethnic lines, or barring that, religious lines (kind of the same thing historically). Really this xenophobia is that expression in a "modern" democracy. Four decades of war on the middle class by the elites in America have seen steady ratcheting of less and less thinly veiled racism.
