[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people here should really read this book.

To complement this non-fiction book, I really enjoyed (and was concerned by) [url=https://www.amazon.com/Ministry-Future-Kim-Stanley-Robinson/dp/0316300144/ref=sr_1_1?hvadid=580744420763&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9007799&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=4313832063334665984&hvtargid=kwd-1390051329533&hydadcr=8293_13500960&keywords=the+ministry+for+the+future+book&qid=1689625128&sr=8-1]Kim Stanley Robinson's Ministry for the Future[/url]. It's current with realistic predictions of problems and optimistic about solutions, but it isn't pretty.

How the climate changed in the past is a red herring. The issue is that the climate is changing NOW at a much more rapid pace than ever before in human history. We have 7.8 billion people, ~40% of which live near coastlines and ~40% who are vulnerable to climate change by 2030 (not necessarily the same groups). Yes, people will have to adapt, but that takes time. Meanwhile, people are going to migrate if they can or suffer if they can't. That will have an impact on other areas that don't think they will be impacted as much by climate change.[/quote]
