2021-03-22 at 11:33 AM UTCAs many of you may have seen in recent news, there is a huge migration chain currently moving towards the US border from Central America.
As we can see from the following data (https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters) from the US CBP, there are already 25% more migrations this year from the southern border compared to the last massive peak in 2019. Furthermore, some places are projecting a 20 year high incoming (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/southwest-border-crossings-pace-highest-levels-20-years-biden-admin-n1261192). Some may say it is because of Biden becoming President, and that may definitely be a part of it, but we can also note from the US CBP data the migrations started to pickup in December 2020, before the inauguration of Biden and under the Trump policies combined with the pandemic.
So what has happened around December that precipitated this massive migration of asylees? The combination of Hurricane Iota , Hurricane Eta, the coronavirus recession, and the flooding of major portions of Honduras may be the biggest push factor.
Some estimates have put the damage caused by the Hurricanes at 10%-25% the GDP of Honduras and affecting 50% of the country directly, and destroying 80% of the agricultural industry of the country [1][3].
Outside of the massive loss of life caused by the pandemic in Honduras, prior to the hurricanes (in October 2020), the World Bank projected a 7.1 % drop in GDP caused by the pandemic alone [2].
The combined fallout may have resulted in a 17% - 32% drop in GDP, perhaps indicating the worst disasters in 2020 to any country. These types of GDP drops are comparable to civil wars. The saddest part is none of these issues were caused by faults in Honduras. While it is true they could have prepared in theory, like a rich country may have, it is very hard for poorer countries to develop resilient institutions to hand crises. As we have seen in the west, through the handling of the coronavirus pandemic and other disasters (e.g., Texas Ice Storm of 2020 and Hurricane Katrina) , even developed countries fail to handle crises.
With such devastation (destroyed infrastructure, loss of agriculture, and loss of lives and employment), many Hondurans have lost what little hope in there country they had and are marching on a tumultuous journey to a more prosperous place.
When we want to discuss future climate disasters and subsequent migrations, we will not find a more dire example than what is happening in Honduras today. And of course, we are also now seeing the punditry and reaction in US politics and news, which may result in more extreme actions in the country.

theres no decline in the "world's" economy.
only US's economy is declining. -

scientists estimate that there are as much as 75% of all organism on this planet that we have still yet to identify.Climate change is driving tropical species further north in the southern U.S.
https://www.sustainability-times.com/environmental-protection/climate-change-is-driving-tropical-species-further-north-in-the-southern-u-s/
or maybe its just evolution and adaptation that enabled these "tropical specieses" migrate further beyond their original tropical habitat.
all living organism spreads. thats how and why humans migrated out of africa (allegedly). climate didnt make us move out of africa. niggers did.Marine life is fleeing the equator to cooler waters—this could trigger a mass extinction event
https://phys.org/news/2021-04-marine-life-equator-cooler-watersthis.html
which means there will just be another species, or specieses that will come and replace them.
void doesnt happen in nature. not even antartica or else there puldnt be pen-fucking-guins."WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED 252 MILLION YEARS AGO, 90 PERCENT OF ALL MARINE SPECIES DIED."
It’s okay bro this happens every 252 million years no big deal.
if they didnt we wouldnt be here.
theres no rule or laws that say we humans have more right to exist on this planet than other living organisms that came before or that will come after us.
we're not special and arent more entitled to stay and continue to exist on this rock more than covid-19 viruses.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
