Pirate's Cove

I’m starting to think this has nothing to do with climate, and everything to do with Progressive politics

The future of the world may depend on letting people move

The best — and perhaps only — way to respond to huge changes in the climate and global demography may be to facilitate mass migration.

Why it matters: Migration in the future will be subject to powerful push and pull factors — the push of climate change and the pull of rich and aging countries in the West and East Asia that will desperately need younger workers from abroad.

But a big post-COVID migration wave will need to overcome substantial political barriers.

Political barriers like “countries have borders” and “bringing in unskilled workers with completely different beliefs who refuse to adapt and demand countries adapt to them destroys countries”

What’s happening: In his new book “Move: The Forces Uprooting Us,” political geographer Parag Khanna makes the case that the world is poised to enter a new era of mass migration in response to major environmental, economic and political changes — and this will be a largely positive change.

Ask Sweden and the UK how this is working out, with tons of “migrants” creating their own little zones which include violence, grooming gangs, and often, Sharia Law. A goodly chunk of which do not work, do not provide value, but, demand government money.

Between the lines: The single biggest factor is that whatever they might feel politically about immigration, most rich countries will require large numbers of workers to keep their economies going in the face of population slowdown and decline.

Which drops the value of wages. This makes it tough for 1st World progressives getting worthless degrees to get a job slinging coffee.

Context: At the same time, many of the countries and regions that have a surplus of people will also come under increasing pressure from climate change, while many of the areas that will remain more livable in a hotter future — what Khanna calls “climate oases” — are comparatively empty.

Within the U.S., heavily populated places like the desert Southwest or wildfire-prone parts of California will become increasingly inhospitable even as colder, depopulating areas like the Great Lakes are poised to better withstand climate change.

This is just jamming ‘climate change’ into the Left’s belief in bringing in lots of people to be their voters. How’s this working out in Minneapolis, which is essentially becoming a 3rd world shithole, just like parts of Somalia.

Mankind has always been impacted by climatic changes, because this has always happened. Same with all life on Earth.
