Funny how so many of the things pushed by the Cult of Climastrology dovetail perfectly with everything Modern Socialist, eh? It’s almost like this has nothing to do with science or the climate

To Achieve Climate Justice, Demilitarize the Border

According to new research out this week, between 1990-2015 the wealthiest 1% of the global population produced more than twice the carbon emissions than the 3 billion people who make up the poorest half of the population. Over that 25-year period—where the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere doubled—the richest 1% of the global population produced 15% of carbon emissions while the richest 10% accounted for a staggering 52% of emissions. The poorest half of the global population, on the other hand, was only responsible for 7%.  

Hatred of rich people (who also tend to donate heavily to Democrats)? Check

Earlier this month, another new analysis found that as of 2015, the United States was responsible for 40% of excess global carbon emissions while the Global North (in this case defined as the United States, Canada, Europe, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan) produced 92% of emissions. Meanwhile, the Global South—which is disproportionately harmed by the climate crisis—is responsible for just 8% of excess emissions. As the report aptly states, “these results illustrate what could be referred to as a process of atmospheric colonisation.” 

USA hatred? Check. Anyhow, they finally get around to the focal point, yammering about the coming carbon pollution caused migrations, all because you ate a hamburger and took a fossil fueled trip to Disney, ending with

And yet, the United States’ militarized border enforcement treats migrants as threats. For decades, the United States has been transforming the southern borderlands into a low-intensity warzone. Since the 1970s, federal spending on immigration and border enforcement has multiplied more than 11 times, from $2.1 billion in 1976 to $24.2 billion in 2019. The ballooning budget funds increasing numbers of armed border patrol agents and military-grade equipment—the “fortressing” of America. 

But the push to militarize the border region and villainize immigrants ignores the real reasons that people choose to leave home and cross borders. To achieve climate justice, we must reverse our decades-long trend in border militarization, defund hate by divesting from ICE and CBP, pay the debt we owe to displaced people around the world, and uphold our collective freedom to move and stay.

So, open borders for all! No matter who these people may be, let them in! And give them money! Yet, weirdly, Warmists never offer to house the migrants themselves.
