comment
- There will be massive human migration
- Europe is already unable to cope with the migration of a million climate refugees from Syria
- The US is polarized due to mass migration of a few people escaping climate crisis and violence in central and South America
- Developed countries will be overwhelmed with climate refugees number in the millions or tens of millions
- In addition to human migration, the migration of species seeking cooler temperatures will fundamentally reshape our economies
- climate departure is the date when local climate goes outside normal historical bounds and locally adapted species do not recognize it anymore and will be forced to migrate to survive
- climate departure is a huge issue that is going to happen, regardless of which decarbonoization path we take. This means all species on the globe will be undergoing dramatic environmental shifts, making mass extinction more likely.
