This is not the result of Climate change. Yes, it's definitely not helping. This is the result of communities growing in places where it is just not realistic for them to do so. It's not like there's any shortage of places where these people could live without the situation getting this precarious ... just not right there.

But if global warming hadn't happened at all, there would only be a very small change in the conclusion of this study.

It seems to be extremely unpalatable for people to consider that there are some limits to scale, imposed by our environment.
