"The assertion to the contrary is based off of the same false claim
that’s supported the lie about world poverty being natural or
inevitable: the claim that there aren’t enough resources to give
everyone food, shelter and healthcare. Yet despite this claim being
scientifically false, the traditional narrative about the supposed
unavoidability of poverty is now transitioning into something even more
cynical and dangerous.
…
When profit is the motivating factor behind how the ruling institutions
function, these institutions will treat the poorest and most vulnerable
parts of the population as liabilities that can be sacrificed for the
sake of profit. This has always been how capitalism has treated the
poor, so during climate change-created crises the poor are the most
forsaken. We’ve seen this during Hurricane Katrina, when those in the
underclass of New Orleans were prioritized the last; during the
California fires of the last few years, where poverty has contributed to
whether or not many people have been able to find safety; and most
significantly in countries like Iraq and India, where growing water
crises are endangering the poor amid rising inequality.
When radical right-wing figures say that cracking down on immigration
will be a necessary part of responding to climate change, they’re
building on this capitalist mindset about it not being desirable to
protect everyone."
