Climate Refugees

The biggest crisis point will almost certainly be in Bangladesh, being poor, highly populated, vulnerable to sea level rise (to the extent the country could be in existential threat at the upper echelons of climate change) and in an awkward geostrategic wider picture.

Always makes me wonder why we in the Netherlands have always managed to deal with the water issue and Bangladesh just hasn't.

Did you miss “poor”

Not as if we weren't poor centuries ago.

This is an old argument with unclear answers, but third world countries are a thing for many reasons and you can't dismiss their woes. Excusing it with "we were also poor once" is nonsense.

Not dismissing anything. Just wondering why they haven't managed to deal with their problems while we did, even though we were dirt poor until very recently too.

Wow lol. GDP per capita? Nobel laureates? "Intellectual property"? Subtle white supremacism is still a thing, huh?

... is this a parody? Genuinely unsure.

In the event that you are serious, it is interesting to know that you view basic facts as white supremacy.
