Climate Refugees

[America Needs R'hllor]

Ideally, if we reach this situation, the U.S. should take in a substantial part of these refugees. It's not the fault of citizens of countries harmed by climate change that American conservatives (like Inhofe, Cruz, Trump etc) are stupid\stubborn and choose to deny scientific facts. I'd say China should also take responsibility, but since it's an authoritarian country, I wouldn't send refugees there.

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.

I'm sure there are absolutely no geological or hydrological difference between the Netherlands and Bangladesh. It must be because they don't go skiing or snowboarding.

No, it's mostly because the Dutch are a hard-working, inventive folk.

The Bangladeshis ... not so much.

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.

Obviously, these are basic facts. But cherrypicking them as parameters to show your race is superior is... yeah, not something I think is very legitimate.
Claiming that the Dutch are "hard-working, inventive folks" while the Bangladeshis are lazy and uncreative is not even a very subtle way to say that white people are superior to them browns.
