There's a new Frontline on PBS tonight: "Exodus: The Journey Continues".

The intimate stories of refugees and migrants, caught in Europe’s tightened borders. Amid the ongoing migration crisis, the film — a sequel to the award-winning 2016 documentary, Exodus — follows personal journeys over two years, as countries become less welcoming to those seeking refuge.

1. Consider That....

the current refugee situation involves a relatively small portion of the world's population. The disruption caused by the Syrian refugee crisis alone threw Europe into chaos. That is a "minor" disruption caused in part by climate change. What will happen when over the next 50-100 years sea level rise, changes in precipitation patterns, crop failures and the resultant conflict and political upheaval that climate change will create put billions of people on the move looking for food, water and security. We better figure out how to deal with these changes now rather than in a reactionary manner when things start really happen. These are human beings we are dealing with. When the going gets rough, that's the first thing we will forget.

2. You are exactly right about figuring out how to deal with this problem now.

When the sea level rises, Americans living on the coasts will have to move inland which could result in a refugee crises within our own borders if we are not prepared.

4. you're so right, and I'm so depressed about it

The world could be such a great place, but the people who are happy and comfortable at the top don't want it to be. I mean, I'm sure they'd prefer it if it didn't cost them anything extra, but it would, so it's just too bad for everybody else.

5. The Syrian refugee crisis could not have happened without the illegal

invasion and occupation of Iraq.

All who supported that madness should be part of the solution. How ironic that Germany who wanted no part of that Iraq madness appears the most sympathetic.
