Study says Europeans fear migration more than climate change – DW

The crazy part is that climate change is going to drive the largest human migration ever as regions become less habitable. The people in arid equatorial regions are headed north and the immigration to nations in northern latitudes is going to be epic. The immigration trickle we see now is nothing compared to the flood we're creating by continuing to destroy the Earth's ecosystems.

They are getting hit with the consequences of a century of industrialization while we have reaped the benefits in the US and Europe. We owe it to them to at least let them take refuge.

Concerns of migration is absolutely related to concerns on climate change, it's just people in general haven't put those two things together yet.

Keep repeating it and you ensure that self-fulfilling prophecy feedback loop.

As they aren't even allowed to talk about the fear openly.

There's an entire political party built around it and you think people can't talk about it openly?

That is mainly because the fear of migration tends to sound completely bat shit crazy when put into words, at least at the levels that aren't related to climate change making large parts of Earth's warm and dry regions uninhabitable.
