    When the Atlantic current collapses, it’s going to royally fuck Europe’s climate, and probably the U.S. Nobody is getting off this train, and we are slowly inching ourselves off a cliff toward extreme westher events all the time instead of just sometimes. Should be fun.

      It won’t be great but it countries that are rich now will be fine-ish. Anyway there is no off-the-cliff, nations and states won’t disappear, so whatever grudges we collect will go with us into the future.

        The EU and US regularly lose their minds over a few thousand refugees. What do you think will happen when millions of climate refugees start moving?

          They will get killed, somehow you forgot that both world wars were waged in europe with tens of millions dead. Benevolent overlords of today will quickly return to genocidal masters of yesterday.

            The amount of civil unrest that’d cause would cause the situation to be far from fine. The US and EU like to pretend like there’s some magic money-fuelled forcefield that protects them, but millions of desperate people fighting for their lives can cause a lot of damage if pushed into a corner like that.
