This is a brilliantly written Three Part series by Abrahm Lustgarten. It paints a (very dark) and realistic picture on how the world as we know it, is changing. What that means to you and me (and others) who call this 3rd rock from the sun – home!
Part 1: The Great Climate Migration Has Begun
New research suggests climate change will cause humans to move in unprecedented numbers. The Times Magazine partnered with ProPublica and data scientists to understand how.
Part 2: How Climate Migration Will Reshape America
Millions will be displaced in the coming decades by fires, hurricanes, extreme heat and rising seas. Where will they go?
Part 3: How Russia Wins the Climate Crisis
Climate change is propelling enormous human migrations, transforming global agriculture and remaking the world order — and no country stands to gain more than Russia.
One of my favourite lines from this is:
The worst danger, Hinde warned on our walk, is believing that something so frail and ephemeral as a wall can ever be an effective shield against the tide of history. “If we don’t develop a different attitude,” he said, “we’re going to be like people in the lifeboat, beating on those that are trying to climb in.”
