And also immigration activists and NGOs also put people on busses to help them get to where they go, Abbott's doing that but while saying mean things so conservatives think that they are being owned, when they are just being voluntarily transported to their destination. The only difference is that the evilly bussed people are usually dropped off in non-ideal locations, like the Naval Observatory in DC, but that's not much of a burden for a person who just walked several thousand miles though dangerous territory to get here. Mostly it fucks with existing migrant services in those cities, but since it turns out all those cities are also full of anti-immigrant hitlers, I'm not sympathetic.

Climate change isn't real though so you don't need to worry y'all.

I don't like using discrete weather events as evidence for climate change, because 1: it's unnecessary and 2: if you have a run of lucky years it hurts your argument. For example, here's a table of all the hurricanes to make US landfall over the last 150 years  Now it's in order so you can tell, but if I randomized those rows you'd pick the 1940s as the most recent decade if you were just going by climate change causes more and worse hurricanes. Similarly, you don't see a clear trend in number of tornadoes per year:  Climate change is going to have paradoxical effects because the climate is an extremely chaotic and hard to predict, so we can't say for certain which major storms were caused by global warming. We don't need to, the temperature data we have is sufficient to prove the case of anthropogenic climate change, and also increased severe weather events are really going to be one of the minor catastrophes caused by global warming. Way more people - like orders of magnitude - are going to die due to drought, famine, exotic disease spread, climate-forced migration, ocean warming, and so on. e: that said I do believe climate change is going to lead to more severe weather events, but it'll be over timescales that don't really lend themselves to news cycles and people's attention spans.

Wasn't there a CIA thing that said global warming was going to absolutely devastate most of the world and part of the US, but the worst effects of it on the US is that we won't be able to accommodate/stop the refugees who need to decide between certain death and illegal immigration.

Mostly it fucks with existing migrant services in those cities, but since it turns out all those cities are also full of anti-immigrant hitlers, I'm not sympathetic. Eh, more complicated than that, but I'm not close to an expert on it. But mostly I'd want to know if Texas gets special levels of resources for managing migration that other states aren't getting, because then it's wrong to get federal resources to address it then dump migrants/refugees onto states without those federal resources. If not, then it'd be a little more fairer to bus them out. I've also heard one of these bussing efforts (not sure if DeSantis or Abbott) led to a ton of immigrants being sent to places on the other side of the country from where their immigration hearings are supposed to be. That's also malicious in a way that regular bussing would not be. But outside of that, I do agree that people nowhere near the border, especially the federal government, have been able to ignore the issue for decades. It makes it easier for Republicans to take over and demonize immigrants.

My understanding is that the global north in general is going to fare better than the global south regardless of the amount of development in the country. Then you add on top of that the amount of development the US/Canada + Europe and potentially Russia depending on how this war goes and China/Japan/S. Korea will come out on top for their regions. Assuming the exact current status quo.

I mean if it comes to that, we will absolutely stop refugees. We will commit atrocities to do so but we're talking about a world in which the international order has completely collapsed and the US public is fully hitlerized. As to the "who fares better" obviously low lying coastal nations and islands in the 3rd world will be the most hosed but there are plenty of black swan events that could gently caress us up. We're richer which means we will likely fare better. But there will be domestic suffering due to it, whether that's thousands or millions of Americans, we'll all find out together. I think what will probably happen is that we'll invent some tech or poo poo to reverse some of the changes and reach a reasonable equilibrium, and probably limit the total global deaths to somewhere in the one or two billions. Which is obviously the worst thing ever but not the full extinction of the human race or even the collapse of civilization.

For sure, it is going to suck for everyone everywhere and nowhere will be safe from the repercussions of anthropogenic climate change. That was purely on a McKinsey level analysis. We should be doing all we can to slow and limit the impacts of climate change but also we aren't so...

What is kind of sad to me, is at first the whole thing was pushed as "global warming" which was not actually occurring when that became the hot topic. Back then, we had the shifting of the poles being proven to alter like full on degree within a period of time that was surprising and the real problem was about climate change. Now here we are, people thinking "climate change" is fake because of the poo poo back in the day where there was no scientific proof of "global warming" and these two things got lumped together; however, we are actually starting to face "global warming" in the next few years. Think the avg surface temp has a pretty steady uptick (i.e, global warming) and we're pretty hosed in that regard down here in Houston, this summer is gonna be a hoot.

Back then, we had the shifting of the poles being proven to alter like full on degree within a period of time that was surprising and the real problem was about climate change. Changing the term from Global Warming to Climate Change was an open suggestion by Frank Luntz. Wikipedia posted:In a confidential memo to the Republican party,[31] Luntz is credited with advising the Bush administration that the phrase "global warming" should be abandoned in favour of "climate change", which he called a "less frightening" phrase than the former.[32]
