SOCIALIST VOICE Marxist Perspectives for the 21st Century http://www.socialistvoice.ca January 25, 2010 SHOULD CLIMATE ACTIVISTS SUPPORT LIMITS ON IMMIGRATION? by Ian Angus and Simon Butler http://www.socialistvoice.ca/?p=966 Immigrants to the developed world have frequently been blamed for unemployment, crime and other social ills. Attempts to reduce or block immigration have been justified as necessary measures to protect “our way of life” from alien influences. Today, some environmentalists go farther, arguing that sharp cuts in immigration are needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow climate change. However sincere and well-meaning such activists may be, their arguments are wrong and dangerous, and should be rejected by the climate emergency movement.
