Note 0:25-0:39; mainstream news is starting to incorporate our
line!
The civilization primarily responsible for global warming should
be the one which primarily bears the burden of its consequences.
Western countries, especially France (and arguably Portugal)
which formerly colonized Madagascar, have a duty to take in the
entire population of Madagascar (~28 million) if necessary. If a
fraction of the world must starve in the climate crisis, it
should first be the fraction from the bloodlines which drove the
Industrial Revolution, not those from the bloodlines (such as in
the video) which had absolutely nothing to do with it. (And if
those who should starve first refuse to starve first, we should
make them eat WMDs (which, by no coincidence, also exist due to
their bloodlines). As I keep repeating, it is poetic justice to
unleash the full power of modern weapons against the
civilization which invented them in the first place.)

Then at least one in three Afghans should emigrate ASAP. The
carrying capacity of Afghanistan has been decreased by the
drought. Sending food in is only a stop-gap measure. The only
long-term solution is for people to move out until the remaining
population falls back below the new carrying capacity.

Hurry up and emigrate from the affected areas! Don't wait for
the main rush!

[quote]Migration will soon be the biggest climate challenge of
our time
As heat, drought and rising sea levels make regions
uninhabitable, millions of people will need to find new homes
The writer is the author of ‘Move: How Mass Migration Will
Reshape the World — and What It Means For You’
… As heat, rising seas and drought render swaths of the planet
uninhabitable, millions, if not billions of people may
eventually have to relocate to terrain in the latitudes best
suited to survival. The toughest challenge that lies before us
isn’t reducing emissions, it’s relocating people. …
Tens of millions more Asians may be forced to relocate
permanently across Eurasia as parts of Asia become uninhabitable
and livelihoods dry up. …
We must bridge the gap between the hyper-sensitised and
short-term political discourse around migration and the
collective strategy needed to house humanity. Speaking of human
geography rather than migration can be a powerful rhetorical
tool, for it emphasises that we are all in the same boat and
gently shifts the focus from narrow national sovereignty to
expansive planetary stewardship.
In a world with a changing climate, we need a new division
of labour among the continents. South America and Africa will
become ever more regions of emigrants. North America and Eurasia
must absorb more people, while recirculating them from the
water-stressed southern US and south Asia into more fertile
inland areas. There will be climate pioneers who terraform
difficult new terrain in places such as Canada and Russia for
millions of future migrants.
Our political cartography will also evolve. Sinking South
Pacific islands will need to be abandoned for Australia and New
Zealand, which will in effect become their protectorates within
a collective Oceania rather than meaningful sovereigns. Today’s
fiscally strained and depopulating Visegrad countries could fuse
into a larger federation to better administer their vital
forests, agriculture and rivers in order to prepare for
demographic replenishment by Arabs and Asians.[/quote]
And if war is required to make it happen, we should be
positively keen to begin bombing.
[quote]Many scholars ask: what lies beyond sovereignty? If we
are wise, the answer will be “programmable geography” — recoding
places based on their changing roles in our fluid global system.
Habitable geography is our most precious terrestrial resource,
and we must optimise it for those that come after us. Adapting
sovereignty to a new reality is what we owe the future.
[/quote]
This guy obviously does not understand sovereignty. Authentic
(autocratic) sovereignty means the individual ruler can say:
"This is my country and welcoming refugees is my decision, and
existing residents who don't like my decision can leave."
Sovereignty is the antidote to nativism. It is because we
presently don't have strong enough sovereignty that nativists
think the country belongs to them! I like the idea of
programmable geography, but only absolute dictators can be
effective programmers.

Emigration is the obvious solution, but enough people will
emigrate in time only if they are confident they will be
accepted as climate refugees. This is why we need to get all the
borders back open ASAP. On the other hand, we will need
demographic pressure on the borders in order to open them, so I
still recommend climate refugees start migrating even if
currently it is uncertain they will be accepted. At least the
media will have to report people starving right at the borders
which can be seen refusing to let them in. Whereas if people
stay put and starve, it is much easier to dismiss as something
happening elsewhere irrelevant to the countries keeping their
borders closed (even though the closed borders are precisely
what is keeping the migrants stuck where they must starve!).

Only a vague beginning, but hopefully can lead to something more
concrete:
HTML https://www.foxnews.com/politics/white-house-report-opens-door-refugee-status-climate-activists-environmental-defenders
[quote]The "Report on the Impact of Climate Change on Migration"
includes claims that "there is an interplay between climate
change and various aspects of eligibility for refugee status."
It goes on to state that if a government that denies "relief
from the impact of climate change to specific individuals who
share a protected characteristic in a manner and to a degree
amounting to persecution" then that could open such people to
refugee status.
It also states that "adverse impacts of climate change" could
affect whether someone has a viable relocation alternative
within their own country.[/quote]

If you are living somewhere where it hasn't rained for over
a year, emigrate!

Do you think this weakling can get borders open for climate
refugees? Neither do I.
Getting borders open will require willingness to use WMDs on
those who refuse to comply. It is that simple.

The mistake is to merely move from rural areas into urban areas.
The carrying capacity of the entire country is lower than what
it used to be due to increased temperatures, so relocating
within the country doesn't really help (and even makes things
worse as the video outlines). The correct response should be to
emigrate (preferably to one of the countries which invaded Iraq
in 2003):

until the remaining population falls back below the new carrying
capacity.

Sending emergency supplies is just a temporary fix. Facilitating
mass emigration (which requires other countries willing to open
their borders) until the population falls back below the land's
reduced carrying capacity is the true answer.
