I don’t want this to happen, but I have a theory about how this is all going to play out over the coming decades.
We are going to continue to see yearly records be set. Bigger fires, more ice melting, worse droughts, etc. Eventually, the global poor will be forced to relocate and even the leftest leaning countries will realize that it is infeasible to accept all these immigrants (looking at Europe in particular). Mass riots will occur along those borders, but eventually eco-immigrants will die off and the more wealthy countries will “just” adapt and move on.
As we see mass casualties due to food shortages and violence, I’d imagine we will see a drop in greenhouse gases from those regions which, ironically, will help the climate change problem.
- CalRobert 3y agoWe're committing acts of war against those countries and leaving their people to die. If we were putting poison in their water, blowing up dams to flood valleys, or destroying their crops directly it would be an atrocity, but apparently doing it with a layer of indirection in the middle makes it OK.

- tnel77 3y agoI’d like to reiterate that I don’t want my prediction to happen. It’s just my guess as to how things will play out.
- flangola7 3y agoWealthy countries will not escape this. Europe will freeze over. The south and midwest US will turn to Sahara like desert. Printing money will not make crops grow, will not make rain fall.
- tnel77 3y agoSource? I wasn’t aware it was this bad in any of the scenarios I read about.
- timeon 3y agoMost of the planet will be on the move. So "...die off and the more wealthy countries will “just” adapt and move on" is not going to happen.
- tnel77 3y agoMy prediction is that you’ll see the military might of these western countries essentially be used to enforce border. I hope wrong.
- llsf 3y agoAt that point global economy will collapse. Even Europe or US would be poor. The "west" will need to lift all the boats, in its own interest. Now we should feel the sense of community and humanity, facing a global challenge. Every country should take it seriously if only for their own national security. We all need sustainable energy, and fossil fuel is not going to do it because 1. it is a increasingly limited resources, with geopolitical implications that will only increase in intensity as the quantity will decrease and price will increase. 2. it makes the climate issues only worse. Either one or both would bring chaos globally. We very seriously need to rely on other source of energy.
