    We’re all perfectly “evolutionarily suited to survive”, just not to the environment we’re making.

    We’ll adapt, or we’ll die, just like everything else.

    Sucks, but that’s our fate, now. We should not have done this thing.

      Humans are kind of a notoriously migratory species.

      Time to see to what extent that instinct still exists.

        The climate is global and global climate change is global. There is nowhere to hide on the surface of this planet.

          Old cyberpunk saying:

          "The future is already here, it just isn’t evenly distributed."

          Sure, in the long run, we are all dead.

          In the medium term, there are better and worse spots to try and call home, should one want to elongate one’s lifespan.

          Increase the resolution of your projection render, and you can see more details.

            The economy is also global, so, no. I mean, some indigenous people living as they have for a long time might be ok for a while. And I’d include some of the subsistance farmers from the poorer countries of the world, they still have the right skills. Everyone else, no.

              Oh right of course, the economy being globalized also means everyone everywhere has the same standard of living, perfectly equally distributing resources despite massive local and regional differences in geography, culture, populatiion density, thank god communism has been achieved.

              Also, of course, climate change will just have precisely the same climatic effects over all of these highly varied areas.

              And finally, it certainly will not be the case that industrialized and militarized technologically advanced societies will displace and dispose of any indigenous populations on now relatively fertile land, nor will poor subsistence farmers who already live on extremely thin margins be obliterated by the slightest breach of those margins… or just physically displaced by rising sea levels or floods or fires literally permanently destroying the land they work.

              No, there are just no historical precedents for anything like that, no.

              … You can’t possibly be serious, can you?
