Good description of what awaits.

> Small wars eventually break out

I wonder if that isn't happening already here and there.

Bigger ones? What'll happen when areas large as a country, becomes mostly uninhabitable.

One more thing: There might be more authoritarian regimes in countries not affected that badly by the climate changes -- because the migrants will want to go there. And then the voters in those places, choose more brutal and authoritarian governments who build borders and use violence to keep the migrants away.

So, more war and dictatorships in the future, is one scenario?


Yes, I didn’t want the person I was responding to to say that I was being dramatic but when food and water are unstable and migrations disrupt those around them, societies get more desperate and can become more aggressive and war is the result.
