Maybe we've reached one of those tipping points already. Who knows? We're well into uncharted territory now, science will be forever playing catch-up from now on. I think there's only one thing that's certain, and that's that things will get worse before they get better. What do you reckon @Johnsond?

France finally agrees to intercept migrant boats at sea

WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK

A furious row erupted at the weekend after French authorities were accused of standing by as people smugglers acted like a ‘taxi’ service

 

From what I can see/read and understand the French could only stop the boats from leaving shore by giving them a good stabbing which makes me wonder how on Earth that is costing us half a billion squid. So, the smugglers just leave the boats running off shore and the immigrants just wade out to them while getting a wave and a thumbs up from the French police.
