> As the article says, climate change won't destroy human civilization. I think most reasonable people agree with this statement. I've personally never heard about the collapse of human civilization in the near future due to climate change. Having said that, this article sounds a bit too optimistic. Some people attribute the Syrian civil war to long droughts and climate change [1]. The science is disputed but regardless of the cause, we can all see the backlash against the flood of refuges in Europe. Now imagine the scale of mass migration is one or two orders of magnitude larger; do you really believe you can persuade voters by saying that the solution is less expensive than WWII? I think the real danger of climate change will be political. Who is going to pay for it? The countries which are most affected don't necessarily have the resources to manage it and the countries which have the resources might have a hard time convincing their citizens to bear the cost of it. This requires a coordinated international effort. [1] https://www.wired.com/2015/03/global-warming-helped-cause-syrian-war/ https://www.wired.com/2015/03/global-warming-helped-cause-sy...
