People need to move. Climate is going to create millions upon millions of refugees and ruin many previous agricultural occupations. There is nothing for it, people NEED to move, the sooner the better.
The fact that cattle are being negatively affected by climate is a bitter piece of irony for red meat eaters...cattle and beef eaters contribute very heavily to warming via methane and with inefficient energy conversion via feedstock as well as moving cattle with transportation, so...I can't say I will miss cheap plentiful beef if it's becoming more rare and infeasible due in part to beef's own climate warming.
- snowwrestler 7y agoIf you own your land, and your land becomes unlivable because of climate change... how do you move? Very few people have enough liquid cash on hand to purchase a new home without first selling their existing home. If the value of the existing home suddenly goes to zero, essentially those people become refugees. And generally speaking, refugees are not welcome when everyone else feels stressed too. This aspect of climate change--the long-term effect of destroyed property value--is, I think, underappreciated by a lot of people.

What about those that don't have land and that need to move, especially when the move crosses borders into countries that are reluctant at best to have them? This will get ugly.
