Climate change fueling migration from Central America

The White House will mark Earth Day this week by hosting international leaders for a virtual climate summit. But three countries that experts say are fueling the immigration crisis at the southern border aren't on the list. CBS News climate and energy reporter Cara Korte joins "CBSN AM" with more.

I love the way everything is blamed on climate and not the amount off cash and professional profits corporation has made up too this. Big corporation tax should be increased.

“Migrants are leaving because of climate change”... LMAO!

[jaimemartinez]

We are late to change anything, is all about adapting

The U.N. has said by 2050, ONE BILLION or more could be moving to other countries as climate refugees. Even Northern Europe may get 150 MILLION climate refugees moving north from Southern Europe and the Mediterranean, as those parts of the world become uninhabitable for many months of the year!

Also look for the quote: I was a ganster for Capitalism, by Smedley Butler. This highly decorated marine listed where he had helped to intervene on behalf of the U.S. oligarchs, many Latin American countries were regime changed. That is a 150 year tradtition of the U.S.

His booklet: War Is A Racket is online as pdf

also the coup against democratically elected government of Chile in 1973 (first 9/11), or the coup attempt against very popular Chavez in 2002 or 2003, never mind the recent economic warfare against Venezuela against hamstringing the opposition. _allegedly._ - well, one can trust the people of Venezueal to sort that out.
We know that a Bolsonaro friendly judge and prosecutors colluded to take out Lula with a sham trial (the had no proof for "corruption" when considering to buy a modest apartment in a normal neighbourhood. Lula never bought the flat. And they only had the testimony of ONE man, and that was his out-of-jail card.
So the strongest competitor of Bolsonaro was hindered to run (with a strong chance to win) and put into prison ? for almost 2 years.

Still waiting for the international sanctions on that.

The Supreme Court of Brazil overturned the prison sentence after the leaks proved the collusion between judge Moro (meanwhile high ranking cabinet member of Bolsonaro) and the prosecutor (also part of the gang around Bolsonaro).

It's economic... More opportunity in USA. They could stop in Mexico. Don't think there is a big demand for the skill of subsistence farmer in USA these days.

A CBS survey . . . and is reported on by nonother than CBS. And exactly what is the agenda of CBS for the future of America? Who is CBS and what is there agenda for the world? Study that question and find out! Come back and we'll talk later!!!

They are fleeing extreme poverty, dictatorships, high homicide rate, serious crime, hyperinflation and yes hurricanes.

Central America has the most luscious fertile climates available on the planet. To this day we are finding vast cities under the jungle. So its not the climate running them away its povert corrupt and the cartels. The oceans create 95% of all greenhouse gases, the Sun is getting hotter, china, India, and south east asia produce the majority of all pollution. So were do we go first to solve the problem and why is it Americans fault?

[jeffreycheng]

What better way to take someone's country than get them to leave it! 😁🐑

You ain’t seen nothing yet...the land down south is really skinny, so there’s only one direction for millions of people to flee, and some silly wall’s not gonna stop hoards of starving climate refugees
