I write about climate, migration to the U.S., and human rights, centering Indigenous voices from Central America to examine systems of power. Science writer @ UC Davis | Dual citizen: Guatemala and U.S. | https://www.david-arias.com/
For Millennials and Gen Z, the impacts of climate inaction will unfold in their lifetime. Floods, droughts, and extreme weather are uprooting communities in the Global South, yet “climate migrants" have no legal recognition.

Hundreds gathered at Harry Bridges Plaza before marching down Market Street, showing solidarity with Minneapolis and calling for an end to state violence while advocating for immigrant rights.

AI is repeating the fast-food playbook. Just as fast food externalized health and environmental harm for convenience and profit, AI infrastructure is externalizing climate and resource costs, which will fuel mass displacement. torchline.substack.com/p/ai-is-repeating-the-fast-food-playbook

For millennials and Gen Z, the consequences of inaction will play out in our lifetime. Poverty and violence are not the only forces driving people from their homes. Climate change is increasingly displacing millions from the very regions where the U.S. is imposing the harshest immigration policies.

Climate conversations often miss the people they affect. Hawken notes visible solutions are led by those fluent in conventional science, sidelining Indigenous communities, and frames carbon as material shaping our world rather than the enemy, making the science more lived-in.
