| > mass starvation Due to my hyperbole it's a hard argument that if 100 years happens in one year it'll all be ok. But yields from crops will improve in some areas and weaken in others https://www.nato.int/docu/review/articles/2011/02/18/food-se... So there will be no mass starvation long term, after this super climate change year. But I see no reason in the USA and Europe if they know what will happen with climate in a year, all the big farms won't adapt within that year. To put all that change into a year will hammer the poor, but they will adapt within years and I'd see no reason the richer countries couldn't prop them up during the change over. It's a tough hypothetical. The Netherlands probably couldn't do 100 years of climate change in a year for their dykes... I'm not sure. Maybe they could. The coronavirus is also a big deal, you'll feel it for decades. What worries about it, is lost time. We are destroying time doing nothing during C19. Climate change 100 years -> 1 year, you'd lost a lot of stuff, but things would plod along. |
