Undocumented migrants who attempt to cross the border from Mexico to the US are disproportionately dying in a harsh stretch of desert that is becoming deadlier due to the climate crisis, a new research has found.
Migrants and asylum seekers trying to enter the US are often forced to traverse the harsh environment of the Sonoran desert in order to avoid border patrols and fortified crossing points. This hazardous journey is putting many of them under severe physical stress, according to researchers, with many dying in the heat due to dehydration and organ failure.
This risk will only intensify as the world heats up further due to human activity, with the research finding that in the next three decades migrants will become so dehydrated in the desert that they will have to carry 34% more water with them in order to survive.

Good!
Let’s release even more CO2 and Methane.
Trekking through the desert used to be a piece of cake before the widespread use of fossil fuels!
There is no freaking climate crisis! It’s a freaking desert! When you enter a desert In less than optimal condition and not fully prepared there’s a good chance you won’t live.
OK, how do we raise the temperature 10 degrees?

I’ve been idling my truck in the driveway since I read the story.
I’m waiting for the Squad’s bill to air condition the desert with drinking fountains every 50 steps and non-binary shitters every 51 steps.
Coyotes should be required to have at least a quart of Gatorade on hand for every person they're smuggling.
🐄💩
So now we have to save those morons and the polar bears? Why aren’t the ‘RATs telling THEIR freeloaders to “stay home and stay safe?” Hmmmmm?
