Morning folks! 🌎

Today for OnlySky, I contrast three recent migrant crises in the news - in Canada, in the UK, and in Texas - to reflect on the economic and environmental factors that keep getting lost in the panic around rising immigration.

Immigration *is* a serious issue, which is why we cannot afford to let xenophobes and political stunts dominate the conversation. We need to grapple with our countries' underlying failure to invest in better societies all around.

yes, immigration is going to be a major political headache as climate change amps up, along with general war energies building.

I do believe climate change is going to have a huge impact on migration patterns both within the U.S. as people flee low lying areas which will no longer be habitable, and immigration brought on by starvation and political instability. It’s going to be bleak.
