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.
