Hundreds of islanders forced to abandon homes amid rising

Experts worry it will put the culture and way of life of ’s community of fewer than 2,000 at risk

by Verity Bowman, September 6, 2023

"Hundreds of people are preparing to escape a tiny Caribbean island as rising waters threaten to engulf their homes.

"The densely populated island of Carti Sugtupu off ’s north coast is under threat from climate change induced sea level rises, suffering from flooding on a regular basis.

"Experts say the sea will engulf and dozens of neighbouring islands in the Guna Yala region by the end of the century.

Forty-nine of the islands are populated and are just a few feet above sea level.

Hundreds of people have to abandon their Caribbean island home permanently due to rising sea levels. The residents of Barbuda, a small island in the eastern Caribbean, have been living in shelters since Hurricane Irma destroyed their houses in 2017. The island is now uninhabitable and the people face an uncertain future.

The climate refugees are a reason to bring the concept of open borders again into discussion.

I know, it is complicated. The current administrative systems in place don't allow large influxes of refugees (there is not enpugh money, they say), and, much worse, societies of the the rich countries are moving entirely in the wrong direction with the current wave of racism.
It hurts to become aware that it won't be possible to maintain the actual levels of material wealth (anyway, I don't see so many happy faces around me...). To me it seems that this is one of the large drivers behind the current denial and racist response.

Now, I am not sure how to bring the idea of abolishing borders back on the table. The concept had some notable support some 10 years ago, but currently I see little possibilities for societal majorities (even the moderate political parties promote racist immigration policies). Although I hope that I am too pessimistic... Any ideas?

I think, the least we can do is to fight the militarization of immigration control. With every million spent in the 'security' industry, their lobby groups and influence on society are strenghtened. When there is business in racism, it becomes only worse.

Where are the public shelters from fire, heat, smoke and floods?

Our relentless combustion of fossil fuels and a government hell-bent on logging native forests will set people and wildlife up having to deal with fires, smoke, heat and floods increasingly.

Where are the cooling centers, heat shelters, fire shelters, smoke shelters?

We were warned over 20 years ago about this and the mass majority didn't care. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thinking of my California climate refugee friends who moved to Vermont (not to trivialize what they went through in, in one family's case, evacuating while not being able to find their cat, and in another couple's case, actually losing their home and then moving farm animals across the country). I don't know if they had the smoke this spring/summer, but it sure is wet out where they moved (and of course our city has had an official 6-inch-of-rain-in-fall day and another weird, cold, wet winter since they moved away. but this could be a bad fire season).

The United Nations Weather Agency says that 2023’s El Niño event has officially begun. The last one was in 2016. While this video by the World Meteorological Organization is rather restrained, based in part from past El Niño years, I say buckle up, it’s going to be another wild ride.

Titanic sub live updates: no sign of vessel as search continues but ‘banging noises’ heard, says US Coast Guard

Have we yet considered that the “banging noice” might be our conscience about those hundreds and thousands refugees & migrants drowned in the Mediterranean sea?
