The planet will be stable under our models, but what about the humans? There are mass migration scenarios in the models and mass migration always leads to instability. Our species is capable of unspeakable violence.
- missedthecue 5y agoMigration due to climate will happen over centuries. It's not like a war where one second it's livable and the next second, shells are flying. It's incredibly slow incremental change. In a hypothetical world without climate change, billions of people would be moving around the world over the next century or two anyway.
- hluska 5y agoI hope you’re right and I’m sorry for sounding so cynical. I live in a city that invited a climate change denier to keynote our renewable city conference. He wasn’t even a good climate change denier - we found the absolute bottom of the barrel lunatic type. That still kills me and makes me genuinely worry that we’re a little too dumb to make it out of this one with the first world intact. Edit - I’d honestly rather not articulate my fears for the developing world.
