Description: Borders make climate change worse, explained. Check out @Second Thought's video on fascism and climate change here: youtu.be/aA1T_0pZHXk In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I look at how climate change will create a massive refugee crisis and how militarized borders are making the climate crisis worse. Specifically, I look at a number of studies that project hundreds of millions of people will be displaced from their homes due to climate change by the end of the century. Unfortunately, imperial core countries like the United States have started building walls to keep people out instead of building bridges to help people escape the storm that the imperial core is largely to blame for. Militarized borders will only make the climate refugee crisis worse, so it's no wonder that the ties between private border security contractors and fossil fuel companies are intimate. In a time when the imperial core needs to be repaying their climate debt and helping countries in the imperial periphery adapt and thrive in a zero-carbon future, they are doing the exact opposite and strengthening their borders and surveillance states.
