And mass migrations due to droughts have occurred in the past, prior to big oil.
OFC. We're not where we find ourselves due to a single bad decision (nor, obvs, is Cape Town), and yes, ofc, mass migrations happened before oil..but that doesn't get that particular decision off the hook for mass migrations it is connected to.
I think it's an interesting confluence in peoples minds..because..demographicaly, people who poo poo climate change and fossil fuels impact on that -also- would not want to see mass migrations into their countries from S. Africa.
Well, at some point they're going to have to choose between one or the other.
-and at some even further point..we run out of places to mass migrate -to-. All of us, not just S. Africans that "make bad decisions".
