What happens when WE are the Illegal Immigrants? |
|
Almost all of the global warning I've seen, heard, and read focuses on rising ocean levels. Make no mistake, that's something to be very concerned about. But what about the atmospheric and agricultural implications?
What happens when Kansas, Nebraska, even South Dakota become too hot to grow crops? What happens when the "breadbasket" is located in Saskatchewan and Manitoba? What happens when those of us living in the northern half of the country get pushed further north by Texans, Arizonans, Mississippians, etc., fleeing areas too hot to live in?
I hope the fuck there are no Jan Brewers, Lou Dobbses, or Glenn Becks in Canada!

2. I met a young couple in Victoria, BC a couple of years ago. |
|
The man was the son of an American who defected during the Vietnam war and who stayed and made a life in Canada. Apparently, they are more welcoming of their south of the border illegals than we are of ours.

6. KS & NE & SD will not be able to grow food--it's all irrigation |
|
They are not the main food growers anyway-it's the Dust bowl.
The real Midwest & PA, OH, NY, IL, TN will have difficulties do to extreme weather.
Many states are already teaching farmers how to grow in climate change. We may be forced to use GE seed.
We can start by ending substities to Arizona to grow corn in the freaking desert for one.

7. There's already a bad history within the USA. |
|
Refugees of the Great Depression and Dust Bowl were not welcomed by California.
We've still got trailer parks that started out as refugee camps for Dust Bowl migrants.
