On open borders

A couple of days ago, ABC wrote about my favourite topic of open borders while travelling on a train to Frankfurt. As I have just invested in a new book about night trains, the tragedy of what is going on in Europe right now becomes even more apparent, although I doubt that I have something more to say than what I have already said.

As always, the future is a choice, and there is something patently absurd in suggesting that we should give up on the hope of a global civilization in order to reduce the concentration of an atmospheric trace gas. Clearly, working together, we are much better equipped to do that as well as meeting all the other challenges that we face as a species.
