>As a libertarian, if there's one thing I don't like about Libertarianism[0], it is specifically the economists. I have the opposite experience. Like every libertarian group I was in shit their pants and lit their hair on fire when covid hit. Most established libertarian thinkers (at least the ones I largely identify with) looked at it both A rationally and B as old vulnerable people and actually appraised the situation with a modicum of sense. Heck I got banned from an economic historians page, because I was on the friendslist of someone who was screeching at him about covid being 5g or something. He just cleaned house. >The biggest adaptation is going to be people moving out of their home countries, which isn't an option for the vast majority of humanity. Immigration is not recognized by most countries as a right. If we bake the Middle East or Africa and it becomes unlivably hot, the answer countries are going to choose isn't going to be "admit hundreds of millions of climate refugees". I'm absolutely one of those "migration is a human right" people, and if David Friedman is anything close to consistent, he'll be too. But most governments are run by people who vehemently disagree with that and you're not going to sell people on open borders as an alternative to climate change mitigation. Yeah this is true. Even within a single country, if a certain area becomes unihabitable, people will (likely by force) migrate to where it remains habitable. I put this as an argument to some people claiming Australia is more mighty than Indonesia. Indonesias fishing fleet, is mostly 100% capable of coming to Australia. (people have crossed that water in jetskis, stopping to refuel) They have roughly 600,000 ships. Like counting everything above a canoe that has to register with their authorities. If they coordinate even a little bit, theres nothing 3 frigates and 4 growlers could meaningfully do to slow that down. They will make landfall and probably take over north australia. Heck they could make multiple trips. And thats not including Indonesias military or shipping fleets. Thats just fishing. The average capacity of these boats is like 8 people. 16 if overloaded. Thats heaps of people. Lots of people will die in the attempt but if they are driven from their homes and hey happen to be adjacent to the ocean its game over.
