Would it be unfair to say “duh”? I have been responding to critics of “illegal immigrants” by saying “you ain’t seen nothing yet”. My own country deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda for example.

Anyone is perfectly allowed to move from down south to up north to have a better life, I just hope they remember that we don't want their bias and prejudice when they get here. There's a reason I left Florida.

Climate change is a more accurate term than global warming. People get confused when they where global warming they think the earth is gonna get hot all over but that is not exactly true just in some areas it will be extremely hot in other areas it will be very cold . Just depends on where you are at on the planet. While it's true the overall average temperature of the earth is increasing people do not understand what a 4c or 5c global avg temp change increase would do to the earth because it seems so small. Most don't even know a 6c temp change would cause a mass human extinction event and possibly kill all mammals all together.

It was a proud moment for our country when each Democratic presidential candidate in the 2020 debates raised their hand to say that they would help migrants who made the difficult journey to get to the United States. It was a refreshing change from the "Build-a-Wall" hatred policies. We have to fund shelters, food, and care for these down-trodden people.

Europe and North America are doing a huge disservice to humanity by continuing to allow immigration. This is especially true for allowing people from countries like Haiti, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, etc. that have irresponsible population policies still encourage their citizens to have more children than they can feed. I’m still a fan of encouraging people fro the US to live and work in other countries and vice versa. So, if someone from England, India, or Japan wanted to work in the US, they’d have to find someone from the US who would want to work in their country.

@lindatullos9430 Ай бұрын

He isn't talking about foreign immigration. He is talking about coastal populations of America moving away from the coast to the interior. Especially Florida and gulf coastal populations moving inland. That's some pretty serious numbers as most of the USA population lives near the coastlines.

Also this happened a 1000 years ago, temperatures were the exact same. It's called the great warming period. So predicting temperatures going up is pretty easy guess.

That's not much of a counter argument because you don't provide any reasoning why you disagree. A blanket dismissal is a waste of time! Besides the evidence is clear. Because the climate is warming, forest fires in the west are more intense. Hurricanes in the southeast are more intense and more lethal. Tornado outbreaks are becoming more frequent and more severe.
