When climate change people have to change, this means migrations, war for resources etc, ANYONE wise do it's best to be as resilient and resourceful as possible. Accidentally this is the opposite of modern nazi-management paradigm.

are you talking about hydra?
Oh no, I just consider how many resources we need to keep a certain standard of living, how many we are on Earth and how many start to be resourceful enough to look for a westerners standard of living while old infra start to fall apart, climate change and wars push people to migrate etc.

To allow any human living like we do in the west we need around 7 Earth, with only one inhabited, to have enough resources. Many live in big cities, with aging infra, we can't re-build in place, exposed more and more to various weather issues, to migrate they'll need new infra and an industrial system to build them and so on.

Most people do not realize but in the world we witness two evolutionary path: some (mostly from middle/middle-high classes) try/have left the city to being able to build new homes in places where today it's good to be for climate, hydro-geological stability, accessibility etc (just as a stupid example in the past we have chose many valley bottoms because even if sometimes there were floods there is also water, nowadays with pumped aqueduct we have no reasons to be there in less nice climate and under flood risks), actually implementing the green new deal. Others, essentially the world ruling classes in their respective countries are experimenting new smart cities, from Indonesia, try and failing to rebuild a sinking and unlivable Jakarta deep in the country, in altitude, to various IMF-founded states with Arkadag, Innopolis, Neom, Prospera, India with the government 100-smart cities projects and so on. Evidently ignoring the old Fordlandia lessons and the present Chinese ghost cities one.

The others sleep in the old settlements witnessing their slow degradation, thinking the first cohort as strange rich nerds who want to be kids for life, and ignoring the ruling class projects classify as sci-fi not so real narrative. Ruling class know that and decide to tell anyone how nice is not owning anything, so they could a day force people without anything in their dream prisons named smart cities, while some understand the move and also understand that there are not enough resources to build smart cities anyway so... Anyone who think expect the next world war for resources advancing with their own agenda.
