Climate disaster will be along any minute now

April 3, 2026

We had a 50 year lead in time, but we built border walls instead of fire breaks and water desalination plants. We bombed oil rich countries instead of switching to renewables to make oil theft unnecessary. We stockpiled weapons instead of digging dams for water storage. We subsidised miners instead of supporting our farmers. We allowed politicians to distract us with false narratives instead of pushing their noses into the issues that matter, because it was easier and we thought it was ‘their job’. We sowed resentment and division amongst ourselves over immigration when it will be ourselves, our children and grandchildren who will become the future migrants forced to move due to climate disaster…along any minute now.
