False. It’s not that hard to fool yourself into thinking that you will be able to navigate the societal disruption that will be caused by climate change, especially if you have money. If you have the resources you can move north, pay more for food, hide behind the security services. But no one wants to imagine living inside a literal bubble or seeing their grandkids crippled by CO2 poisoning. Escaping the heat and its effects is one thing—it’s entirely a different thing to have to escape the atmosphere.

- legutierr 5y agoWater pollution like this is a localized phenomenon. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is not. What the study is saying is that there may be no environmentally safe outdoor spaces anywhere in the world at the end of the century. This has never been the case previously, even when environmental pollution has gotten out of control in certain places.
