And that’s assuming borders have any meaning at all when it comes to the problems we’re facing. We’re all on this planet together and if land becomes uninhabitable those people need to go and live somewhere. Whether that somewhere is beyond a border is irrelevant. People will just go where they don’t starve, die or be persecuted etc and that’s their right to do so. The borders we have were made in the context that won’t exist 50 years from now. Everyone will have to adapt. No one will be untouched from climate change just because of their winning ticket at the lottery of birth.

That is the optimistic scenario. Even possible that productivity and wealth growth increases in some scenario like that.

> We’re all on this planet together Too optimistic. The borders will become the lines in people's heads where people say "This is our territory, we own the food and water here, we don't have enough, so you stay out and here are the bullets to help us keep you out.". And the other side will say "We're dying of hunger and thirst, we will ignore the lines, and here are the bullets to help us.".
