"I work on #climatechange, and now I’m a #climaterefugee. I feel an urgent need to speak up and say: this was an #unnaturaldisaster.

Days later my daughter is still having nightmares. But I can see that even though she’s still a kid, she’s able to connect the dots. She asks me, “Why are humans doing this? Why is the smartest species on the planet still polluting the Earth? Why aren’t we fixing it?” And I struggle to give her answers." #ScientifcAmerican

The growing reality of climate refugees - a resonating article by Wambui Mbuthia.

Climate change is not a sudden eviction notice for millions of displaced people. It is a slow and relentless erosion, chipping away livelihoods and forcing difficult choices.

In 2022 alone, more than 7.4 million people across #Africa were displaced due to climate shocks, adding to existing conflicts and instability.

The Australia-Tuvalu deal shows why we need a global framework for climate relocations

The climate migration deal has been dubbed as offering Tuvaluans a lifeline, but others say it is a neocolonial arrangement that does not tackle rising ocean levels.

The Conversation
Globally, we will see more and more of this as weather volatility increases and sea levels increase. My fear is that given migration is often controversial and contested that this leads to still mkre turmoil. #climate #internalmigration #flooding #useinclass #climatechange #migration #climaterefugee https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/philadelphia-eastwick-planet-streets-rising-waters-climate-change/

#Asylum #ClimateRefugee

There is one type of #ClimateRefugee that it is always right to shoot on sight. That is some billionaire heading to their bunker / bolt hole. Shoot the fucker and steal everything you can from them.
One of the reasons we moved is that the last two years we spent in Dallas, we had a two week stretch where the temperature reached over 103 every day. Our AC went out one day, and we had to *evacuate the house* until it was repaired. That's not somewhere a human can live. #climaterefugee
