Just so y'all know, there's no possible moral argument for developed countries rejecting migrants as the climate change situation escalates.

If you believe in collective, societal moral responsibility, then we're collectively morally culpable for causing anthropogenic climate change and therefore have a collective moral obligation to handle its worst effects.

If you don't believe in collective, societal moral responsibility, then we're not collectively morally responsible for creating the incredible systems that make wealth accumulation possible in rich countries. In that case, we're no more morally entitled to the benefits of being a rich country than they are, and we have a duty to share those benefits with everyone else.

I, personally, am in the latter camp, but the point is, you can't have it both ways.

We should be helping developing countries develop as quickly as possible which will end the migrant crisis.

@GermanAf I've had it happen once. Quite rare, though.

@LordShadowfire it’s good up to a point I suppose

@LordShadowfire it feels a little empty. Usually i get blocked after an argument 🤔

There is a very moral argument to not allow migrants into the US: "it's really going to shit"

There's no moral argument for rejecting migrants under most situations, let alone climate refugees.

I'm not sure migration is necessarily the best or only solution to climate change. In fact, it might possibly be the worst. That being said, yes, the entire world (all nations, every single self-absorbed individual) has a responsibility to assist in the crisis. No one is exempt including those who are attempting to migrate as a quick fix out of a problem that does nothing to solve the worldwide problem.
