Global warming is happening at a slow enough pace that there is plenty of time for people to move to the poles/into caves/beneath the ocean/whatever. Nuclear war would be much more destructive in a much shorter range of time but you will have pockets.
- toilet 8d agoClimate change isn't real because we can just move under the oceans hahahaha
- icepush 8d agoIf you read my comment very carefully, you will find that is not exactly what I claimed
- thomascountz 8d agoCitation needed for evidence of human cooperation at this scale. As you say, climate change is slow moving, and there's no real evidence across the last 60 years of knowing about it suggesting humans are willing to do what it takes to survive it.
- ben_w 8d agoAll human behaviour since no later than the Polynesians turned the Pacific islands into a network of sailing trade routes. "Humans move" is one of the easiest things to predict. The biggest problem today is that they generally move to somewhere that other humans are already in, which is of course rather lessened by any major disaster wiping out a majority of the population.
- icepush 8d agoWhat cooperation are you referring to?
- thomascountz 8d ago...people to move to the poles/into caves/beneath the ocean/whatever Cooperation required for the purported mass migration of civilization. Admittedly, I assumed you meant it would be civil, but perhaps that should be excluded from the priors.
- icepush 8d agoI never made any predictions of a cooperative (Civil or otherwise) mass migration of civilization - just that a nonzero number of people would move from areas that were becoming uninhabitable to areas that were becoming habitable. Did you reply to the right comment?
- Findecanor 8d agoPeople already entrenched near the poles will fight to keep others out. Right-wing anti-immigrant parties are on the rise right now already. They also tend to not want to recognise climate change -- because that would imply that people could migrate because of it.
