It’s so obvious, you guys! It wasn’t the fact that illegals and refugees and people who just wanted to get away from their 3rd World Shitholes developing nations always seem to want to come to the United States. Or that one political party, and some squishes in the other, not only refuse to crack down on illegal immigration, but actively propagate the impetus for people to stream to the U.S. Or that people have always streamed to the U.S., legally and illegally. No, it’s carbon pollution. And all your fault
Climate Change Sparked the Border Migration Crisis
One factor causing migrants to risk everything—even potentially losing their children—to travel through the heat of summer in the dangerous desert and towards the barbed wire fences and tent cities springing up just south of the United States border: climate change.
Many of the migrants being detained here now hail from what’s referred variously as the Dry Corridor or the Northern Triangle, which consists of the three countries immediately south of Mexico: Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras.
The agricultural crisis of the Northern Triangle area isn’t something that cropped up overnight, but has been in the making for more than a decade. The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations published a report in June 2016 that described the depth of the food insecurity crisis in the region, leaving 3.5 million people, or nearly 30 percent of the population, food insecure from crop losses estimated to be as high as 90 percent.
See? Who didn’t see this coming, because we all know that plants hate carbon dioxide.
And just to continue with the meme
Trump Penalizes Migrants Fleeing Climate Crisis He Ignores
The impacts of climate change do not respect international borders. If they did, it wouldn’t be the case that the countries who have done the least to contribute to global carbon dioxide emissions are expected to suffer disproportionately from their effects.
But as climate refugees begin to flee deteriorating conditions, they are already finding that borders very much apply to them.
Many of the immigrants being detained at the southern U.S. border under President Donald Trump’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy are fleeing food scarcity brought on by climate change, The Daily Beast reported Thursday.
Wait, I thought Obama fixed ‘climate change’? Didn’t he say that “this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal”? Trump certainly hasn’t been in office long enough to create climate doom. Must be an inherited problem

The mean global surface temperature increased 0.54C in the 30 years since Dr. Hansen made his predictions. Since 2000 the Earth has warmed 0.37C.
Lie, again.
Hi dave,
We’re beginning to think that you don’t understand the thermometer concept.
Or it could be that since the new Con Men lie constantly, they assume that everyone else lies.
Google “temperature trend calculator” and you can see for yourself.
GISTEMP —– 0.54C since 1988
HADCRUT —– 0.59C since 1988
Berkeley —- 0.60C since 1988
With no reason to expect the rapid rise to stop any time soon.
Hi dave,
And if you prefer the satellite databases:
RSS ..… 0.63C since 1988
UAH …. 0.54C since 1988
UAH is run by skeptic Jon Christy, disciple of Roy Spencer.
What data do you use to calculate the temperature trends over the past 30 years?
Or rather than discuss facts and issues, maybe you prefer to stalk me online and threaten my family and coworkers?
Perhaps little jeffery lyinn keene of st. louis has a problem understanding the meaning of has not increased significantly.
But that’s understandable.
