Large regions in northern, southern, and central-western Africa, as well as northern Madagascar, are experiencing severe drought conditions due to two or more years of lower-than-average rainfall and higher than usual temperatures. These are the findings of a new report from the Copernicus Global Drought Observatory, run by the European Commission’s Joint Research Center (JRC).

    Imperial core countries causing climate change because of greed. The climate changes first in developing countries because of physics. The citizens of said developing countries flee to imperial core countries because of self-preservation. Imperial core citizens mad at fleeing citizens because of ignorance.

      What you said reminded me of an argument that I recently heard and found quite interesting, as well as accurate.

      It was saying that the developing countries are actually the colonising ones because they got prosperous from ferociously extracting the resources from the places they colonised. In the so-called “post colonial era”, theses western countries kept their development through economic exploitation of the same areas and people.

      Edit: So the developed countries, should actually be called developing instead. And what we call now developing countries should be called exploited, abused or something similar.

        Exploited is accurate. But I’d personally wouldn’t call Western countries “developing” to avoid ambiguity. Exploiting/exploited packs more punch and is unambiguous.
