The planet is not becoming inhabitable. We will do fine even if the planet warms up some.
You can probably own a home if you want. You can travel the world if you want. You can meet a nice girl and cook food together in a cozy apartment. You can start brewing beer as a hobby with your friends. You can hike the Appalachian trail.
You can do a lot of things if you want.

The problem is that food supply for billions of people are going to be threatened, that will make the flood of refugees from Syria seem like a trickle.
- cc81 7y agoThe population growth of mainly Africa and parts of Asia is a problem but just like now it would be a problem of distribution. We can grow enough food even with the changing temperatures. It will also be a very gradual increase in temperature and we humans are very good at adapting and finding solutions.

Serious question: Have you ever lived in a country that was in the middle of a famine? People 'find solutions' to that problem. They aren't pretty. Those solutions consist of 'rob', 'starve, or 'leave'. If you live in the first world, your problem is going to be dealing with people who are taking option #3. We're barely capable of dealing with a flow of refugees from one or two countries.
- Kaiyou 7y agoWhy do we need billions of people on this planet? Wouldn't it be better to cut down our population a bit? Earth cannot sustain infinite people..
- tastygreenapple 7y agoI live in the bay area - I can meet a nice girl in the sense that I can also win the lottery tomorrow. Besides, I have to compete with people on welfare who have a lot more time to chase girls than I do as the person paying for their welfare.
