Borders make climate change worse. That's the Borderline Truth. Listen to this episode to see how our planet is being affected by the way we treat our borders.

When people think of global warming and glacial melting, they often think of sea levels rising, coasts moving inland, and cities flooding and disappearing. Something that they rarely think about is the changing of borders between countries. As the climate crisis continues to grow worse more and more people will be forced into these kinds of decisions. The world is facing a growing population of people displaced by climate chaos, and as we will soon see, countries in the imperial core are actively shoring up their walls to keep climate refugees out.Did you know, it is predicted in media reports, Over the course of the next 80 years, the world will increasingly be on the move? Whether due to distinct climate-change-linked disasters like hurricanes or through longer-term events like drought and sea level rise, a changing climate will displace an estimated 200-300 million people globally by 2100. Of those 200-300 million climate refugees, 80% are people displaced internally within their countries.
