One of the reasons (aside from divide and rule and racism) for politicians scapegoating refugees is the climate crisis they are doing nothing about will create hundreds of millions of refugees and they want to dehumanise them in advance.
I think our leaders are planning for climate collapse.

Very important to completely annihilate the climate along with energy affordability so we can power the Mistake Generator that will fire everyone.
"According to Foxglove, the new demand would be comparable to two to three times the capacity of the 1180MW Peterhead gas power station....and the total generation capacity of all of Scotland’s offshore wind turbines in 2024, which stood at 2971MW"
