Heat waves of this nature are becoming more frequent as our climate catastrophe continues.

    So how long until we see a real push out of these areas into one’s less likely to experience dangerous climate change events, and how are we going to deal with it when the inevitable fight for natural resources start to affect the wealthier nations? It’s a crazy time to live in. I feel awful for these people. The heat is the absolute worst. This is death heat. Dealing with that just cause they happened to be born somewhere. Ugh.

      Climate change-induced migration began long ago. Since 2008, around 20 million people annually relocate as a result of changing climactic conditions. About a quarter of those migrate to other countries.

        Of course. I suppose i was not really thinking.

        I guess my general idea is when are we gonna treat the situation as mission critical and these places are completely emptied out and what that’s gonna look like in an actual resource war. I know the war is already happening and we have major player dug in, but for the average person in say the u.s., does not actually feel the urgency necessarily . I dunno. I’m just thinking about the future and how it will play out and what it’ll look like in say 100 years.

          Often, a society’s awareness of mission critical issues is shaped by the language used to describe such events. And things never go well when urgency and denial are given equal value in the public arena.

          In 100 years, the earth will be completely different. I am sad for the young who will live to see it all go down.

            Yea your right. I suppose some of us are already well aware, and see the effects of it on our everyday lives. While others want to be ignorant for their own sanity. I respectfully disagree with their outlook, but ultimately, I can’t blame them, because I know what it’s like to ignore problems, and I’m guilty of it as well.

            In 100 years I’d imagine humanity itself will look much different. Things are moving at an alarming rate, and tbh, I’m not sure we have the physical, mental, or emotional capacity required to deal with it.

            There goes the status quo. But I’m not sure it’s a bad thing tbh. It was always unlikely we’d get it right the first time around.
