Media literacy tip:

The surge of climate-change conflicts will be presented to us as "ethnic tensions lead to violence" in the newspapers.

The rise in climate refugees will be presented to us as "migrants seeking work."

When you try to read a new situation using the language of the old broken economic system it's hard to see what's happening.

I've seen exactly 1 news report where the reporter traced back the data (and the migrants) to find that they were moving north to escape a drought in South America that had devastated their food sources and created violence in their region. They came because they didn't want their children to die.
