    Climate scientist is 1/3rd wrong.

      I don’t think she’s saying 1/3 will be unaffected but 1/3 will adapt.

      For example, I’m set for more climate change than most

      • I live in the north
      • at least a bit away from the coast
      • we don’t historically get tornadoes
      • plentiful reliable power and water
      • air conditioning

      And most importantly, both the region and myself have above average income/wealth. We can afford to adapt somewhat.

      Thinking of global population, I can see being in the 1/3 least affected

        If there’s a death sentence to 2/3rd of the planet, it’s very doubtful it will stop there to leave the remaining 1/3rd livable for long.
        The 2/3rd may die sooner, but if it does, the rest will follow. Because there will be runaway global warming.
        If we can stop or even reverse it, there is no need for the 2/3rds to die either.
