"I don't consider these people migrants. I consider them refugees. Some of them are climate refugees. The climate is changing in that part of Central America as it is at equatorial latitudes all around the world." — @Thom_Hartmann #Mexico

There is massive deforestation, which is one thing that leads to #ClimateChange. The deforestation has meant less rainfall, the crops are failing, drought is intensifying, and the storms and flooding are getting worse. #Mexico #Guatemala #Honduras

Drought and flood go together. You have a drought, the vegetation dies, the soil hardens, and then you have floods and mud slides the minute it rains. #Mexico #Guatemala #Honduras #ClimateChange #Environment #GlobalWarming

I can't emphasize it enough, we have a #ClimateCrisis — and it's not 50 years from now. Ask a Honduran, ask a Guatemalan, we have a crisis right now — and this leads to political crisis. #Mexico #Guatemala #Honduras #Environment #GlobalWarming
