Well, I think that people will have major changes to the status quo as climate changes become more extreme and habitable zones start to become inhabitable.

Being Northern means a few degrees of warming still has them well within the habitable zone, requiring fairly minor sacrificies to keep same quality of life.
- ndsipa_pomu 3y agoThat seems a simplistic evaluation. North America is already experiencing anomalous weather events and climate change isn't necessarily just going to be areas getting hotter (although that will happen), but also weather patterns drastically changing. The big issue is of course food security and changing weather patterns are going to decimate some crops and result in widespread famines.
