  1. Errr.. Communities? I'd talk about moving whole countries. Like Nauru, Bangladesh and so on. We are talking about moving billions, not millions of people in this century. But that af course means that we want to keep them alive. First shots against climate refugees has been shot already in borders like mediterraneian and US south. We are rather building walls (USA, India, Hungary, Finland, …) or blocking refugees with any means possible, like EU did with Syrian refugees with agreeing Turkey to keep them. The recent refugee crisis was too hard to handle for EU, but that was a minor one when you start to compare it with the ones that are coming because of the climate and ecological crisis.

    But also keep in mind that even moving to other locations won't always help. Whole mediterraneian is on fire and under heat/drought/floods. Moving from Africa to southern EU won't help much. Even in not that hard hit Scandinavia food crop has vained many years in a row.

    We should really start planning how to manage incoming population in masses. What happens to a country that currently has 10 million people and there is 50 million people that wants to move there? Even if there is enough land to move, it will change the whole country to something else. And building infrastructure for them, will make huge emissions and environmental impacts that will make things even worse. And ofc economy is altered too. We have already huge opposition that is called rightwing racists, that often are against migration and against scientific facts including manmade climate change. And their numbers will rise when situation worsens.

    I bet that mass migration that is coming will cause wars. It already has.

    We are currently at 1,5C (august, 2023). Temporarily, but soon permanently. Climate chaos effects are rising all across the globe.

  2. If you think it only affects poorer nations, think again! Natural disasters don't pick their locations. I am experiencing this in a first world country! I live in Germany and already lost months of sleep (accumulated in the last 6 years) due to hotter than "usual" summers. Modern apartments are NOT being built with passive house certification, nor basic geothermal cooling. The horrendous housing market isn't making it easier either. It's nearly impossible to find a decent place to live in, let alone ideal place and design. Old buildings are constantly being renovated, but renovation doesn't solve their fundamental design intentions, which were to survive through winters, not summers.

  3. All government granted political propaganda , like this need to have mandatory warning disclosures, so that people understand where it's actually coming from and not think it's real science.

  4. People in the underdeveloped countries must learn and internalize that it's not God's bussiness to take care of many children they bring to the world. Otherwise no solution would save the future.

  5. Hello, I want to translate this video in Korean so that the people in our country are also aware of this issue and are more exposed to this issue in the media. Will I be able to re-upload in my YouTube account with the translated subtitles?

  6. Wells, water, shade, A/C, battery technology, and hyper optimized food and fertilizer storage logistics.. also, looks like French will become useful agqin if you live in the Eastern Hemisphere. Spanish if you're living in the West. Gotta look this problem in the eye- it'll last for 60 years and will only accelerate. Prepare yesterday.

  7. What a bunch of baloney. They are not suddenly fleeing vacationland climate to freeze in Minnesota because the "Climate" has suddenly change. They are going for the open borders and free gibs. Otherwise, they would got to Kakistan or anywhere just slightly north of where they claim it's gotten a fourth of a degree hotter. There is no climate change. It's the latest blame Whitey excuse to run to the free gibs that they are giving out.

  8. China is destroying the planet as much as the whole West and they are already greedily building islands.
    Get them to cough up a 1/4 of the fix + 1/4 Arab states + 1/2 US and Europe

  9. Best thing that can happen is that Icelandic volcano going mental from time to time.
    A few years back, it forced a global shut down of all air traffic, with amazing results.
    If it happens regularly, maybe we can reverse the tide a bit.
    If its just up to us, we are royally f*****d
