As global warming (climate change) worsens, we are going to see literally millions of refugees desperately trying to escape parched or flooded places.
I was amazed to read the story of a large number of Haitian refugees who had traversed the Darien Gap in an effort to reach the USA. Most were malnourished and wore sandals.
Where "Professional military units with excellent equipment" dare not tread.......

It's so amazing because it's a pile of horse shit.
I have been at the top of this highway and at the bottom where the highway ends in the Argentine province of Tierra del Fuego.
The highway has only one interruption. It is South of the Panama Canal and called The Darien Gap. If you are curious, here is a link that describes it in detail:

It is a hell hole. Professional military units with excellent equipment have trained there and failed to make it through. In preparation for Vietnam, US Navy personnel were required to go to The Escape and Evasion School in Monterrey, California, and The Jungle Survival School in the Darien Gap. I went to the first school. I did not go to the second school. It was suspended because too many trainees had died there. (One was inserted by helicopter and required to survive six days in the jungle. Later the school was reopened. Each six-man team inserted was required to have a professional guide for the tour.)
