Serious addendum: Sweden, Norway and Finland have population densities lower than Brasil, and I think we should all expect to take in at least 100 million climate refugees during the next few decades. Another reason why we need to keep the countryside communities alive.
@Loukas I think the vast majority of people have yet to start understanding this.
The largest human migration ever is starting. And the response needed isn't machine guns at the borders & telling the coast guard to sink ships with refugees on them.
The action needed is the plan for the growing cities and growing need for (sustainable) logistics.
@Gurre @Loukas 100% agreed, and adding the urgent need for the cultural framing at every level of migration as an actively positive and good thing as opposed to a "threat"
@mothninja @Gurre yes we need to see good migration policies as part of saving the world. A change in residency laws is more effective than a hundred billion spent on charging stations for electrical cars.
