The west won’t go free. Heatwaves have been killing thousands for the past decades in Europe, and extreme weather is really fucking with America. Being near the cost isn’t necessarily worse than being inland as the sea can help regulate the extreme temperatures. I live in a costal city which basically sits around 100meters above sea level, on a good foundation, so the higher amount of rainfall and increasing sea levels aren’t really a worry. I work in another city 40km in land. In the winter my work place can be absolutely frozen while my hometown sits around 0 degrees, and vice versa in the summer. We had a really bad heatwave this summer, but it was 5 degrees worse at my work place than my home. But basically you’re only going to be fine if you live as far north as Canada or northern Germany. You’re spot on about climate refugees though. Syria was/is a war about water control, and now Yemen is in the same boat. The real worry isn’t that though. It’s all the methane gas locked in the permafrost. It might make the air unbreatheable to humans, and then the rest really won’t matter.
