But... But... ye gods, man. Bangladesh is entirely at sea level. Southeast Asia, the entirety of the -nesias, every island and seaboard, damn near ~70% of the world's population will be under water in 200 years, and their mass migration is headed toward arod plains that can barely support 50 people per square mile. A decimation is 1 out of 10; we are looking at 9 out of 10. The psychological impact alone is enough to make the survivors believe in Allah. Climate Shift is real, and I get the feel that we are using it as a political set piece in the Game of Chairs.
