Spotify for PodcastersClimate Change, Disasters & Migration: What We Get Wrong | Prof. Ilan Kelman by Is Climate Change Your Concern?Professor Ilan Kelman provides a fresh perspective on climate change in this insightful interview with Anirudh Nanda. He argues that while climate change is a serious issue, it's not the only challenge we face, emphasizing the significant role human choices play in creating disasters, fueling conflict, and influencing migration patterns. This discussion explores the difference between weather, climate, and climate change, and how human actions often worsen the impact of natural events. Kelman also delves into the complex relationship between climate change, conflict, and migration, highlighting the dangers of heat waves fueled by human activity. Ultimately, he calls for ethical population stabilization and responsible consumption to build a more resilient and sustainable future. Tune in to gain a new understanding of climate change and the power of human action.

How can governments from across the globe respond to the nexus of climate change & migration? 
Join us Oct. 31 for an online discussion on how to chart a smart agenda to address #climatemigration.
Ahead of 
#COP29 next month, panelists will discuss immigrant workers’ role in the #greentransition, ways to better incorporate affected communities’ voices in climate solutions, policy responses outside the humanitarian protection space, & the cues that shape public opinion of #climatemigrants.

No, Europe Isn’t Being Swamped by Migrants
Last week, several leading European politicians visited the Italian island of Lampedusa, presented as a symbol of a continent overwhelmed by immigrants. But there is no “migrant crisis” — just a political failure to create safe routes for people on the move.
"Verbrannte #Migranten in #Griechenland: Eine neue Qualität
- 18 [neulich 19] #Geflüchtete sterben bei #Waldbränden in #griechenland - Migranten werden beschuldigt, die Feuer gelegt zu haben. Es trifft wieder die ganz unten.
Ob im Mittelmeer oder auf dem Festland: Schutzsuchende sterben auf ihrem mühsamen Weg in ein neues, sicheres Leben, auch in Europa. Im Fall der verbrannten Migranten im Wald steckt jedoch eine völlig neue Qualität: Die griechische Öffentlichkeit bezichtigt Geflüchtete, die Waldbrände gelegt zu haben.
Offen wird zu einem Pogrom gegen sie aufgerufen. Das Narrativ: der Geflüchtete sei der skrupellose Brandstifter, der Hellas in Schutt und Asche legt. Darin steckt eine abscheuliche Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Islamophobie. Die Staatsfeinde Nummer eins hätten nur eines im Sinn: das christliche Abendland zu vernichten.
Eine Metapher dürfte lehrreich sein. Die US-Juristin Kimberlé Crenshaw, die die kritische „Rassen“-Theorie (mit)entwickelte, verwendet sie: Man stelle sich einen Keller voller Menschen vor, von denen einige, wie bei einer menschlichen Pyramide, auf den Schultern anderer Menschen stehen. Diese Pyramide reicht bis an eine Decke. Oberhalb der Decke sind die Privilegierten der Gesellschaft, deren Rechte voll anerkannt sind. Ab und an öffnen die Privilegierten eine kleine Tür."

"Human migration on a heating planet: A scoping review"
https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pclm.0000214
journals.plos.orgHuman migration on a heating planet: A scoping reviewWhilst people’s migration outcomes may be influenced by climate change, the interaction of heat with migration and migrants is little understood. This scoping review explores the relationship between heat and human migration, focusing on i) whether and how heat functions as a driver of migration, and ii) how migrants are impacted by heat across the migratory journey. Four databases were searched for peer-reviewed literature to identify studies reporting on the heat-migration nexus through 18 June 2021, alongside a grey literature search. Of 12,149 peer-reviewed and 476 grey literature records, 187 articles were screened in full, resulting in the inclusion of 50 records (47 peer-reviewed, 3 grey). Publications assessed the impact of heat on human migration (n = 32), or the experience of heat among migrants (n = 18). In the former, 16/32 report a significant positive association where exposure to heat increases the likelihood of migration or intention to migrate. Moderating factors in the heat-migration pathway include other climatic factors, agricultural productivity, economic opportunities, age, and gender. The vast majority of studies assessing the impact of heat on migrants reported negative impacts of heat (such as heat related illness, heat stress and premature mortality) among migrants compared to non-migrants. Heat impacts were aggravated by poor infrastructure, insufficient workplace adaptations, lower educational level, and socio-economic factors. Findings suggest heat may influence migratory patterns in terms of people’s intention to move, risk when on the move, and consequences of heat for settled migrants. However, the heterogeneous results suggest heat may not be a driver of migration in all contexts. No literature reported on a so-called ‘temperature threshold’ above which migration is certain. Developing comparability in measurements of heat, heat impacts, and definitions of environmentally-induced migration and migrants may support future research on, risk reduction for, and response to the impact of heat on migration and migrants.
"With #ClimateChange expected to #displace tens of millions of people across the US, the cities that will absorb these #migrants need to ramp up their capacity to provide assistance beyond the initial emergency period."
#ClimateRefugees tend to come from not too far away, they need housing, a job, and transportation; planning ahead makes everything easier for both cities and newcomers.

Preparing for this in the coming decade will probably happen only with crisis…however…”The US isn't ready for the coming climate displacement. But we should plan to house 10s of millions of migrants in lovely, green communities. It won't be easy; we have to start now.” #climatescenario #climatemigrants https://www.thenation.com/article/environment/miami-climate-change-evacuation/
The NationShould We Start Preparing for the Evacuation of Miami?Daniel Aldana Cohen argues that planning the withdrawal from Miami would force other places to get serious about hosting climate migrants, while Samantha Schuyler says Miami can still become a model of adaptation.

Droughts in the Horn of Africa, increased risks of forest fires in California and depleted fish populations for coastal nations are just three examples of events that ultimately cause people to flee their homes.

In the US alone, what happens to #climate haven states once the #ClimateEmergency is over & reversed, & normal climate is restored, after those states spent lots of money & effort in prep for a mass influx of #ClimateMigrants from, e.g., the desert southwest & disappearing coastal areas?
Will people just then return to, e.g., AZ from MI, saying "hey thanks for letting me crash on your couch"?

@CiaoBruno -
Yes, it will be VERY ugly. Personally, I predict 1-4 Billion deaths due to the effects of the #ClimateCrisis over the next century.
I also predict that in an attempt at self-preservation, the US will 100% isolate from the rest of the world: zero human or goods exchange with the rest of the world to lock out Billions of desperate #ClimateMigrants.
