The "developed world" is undeveloping itself by delaying maintenance and avoiding infrastructure investment and slashing budgets for social programs, and the only plan for dealing with climate disaster seems to be "shoot refugees who flee climate disaster."

So, I'm very skeptical that they can actually deal with climate disaster.

Lol. That 2019 chart aged like milk

The first really bad effects of climate change are going to hit Africa, south America, and south east Asia the hardest. Famines, droughts, the works. That's why people say that. Don't worry though, it won't be long after that before the west deals with it just the same.

edit: A graph!

This is severe food insecurity at 2c, relative to current insecurity. Obviously at 3c and beyond it will get worse, and in more areas. But at 2c, not so much famine in the west. paper for anyone who wants to read it. This is from figure 2.

I think it's more about how temperate areas will become only slightly more unlivable whereas areas already prone to extreme temps will have it worse. Most of the world's developed countries are in temperate zones.

Nah, just racist brainworms. How climate change will affect each country is hard to predict, but I'd guess (worst to best)

• south and southeast Asia will be the worst affected due to heatwaves and famines
• Meditteranean Europe will become hotter and drier
• Atlantic Europe will become very cold as the Gulf Stream weakens.
• eastern Amazon turns into a grassland or even a desert, causing droughts in Brazil
• north america moderately affected
• southern and western South America, and Southern Africa, moderately affected
• northern Russia might benefit but southern Russia and Central Asia would become too hot and dry
• China will figure out something (assuming no WW3)
• north and West Africa could benefit from increased rainfall and the greening of the Sahara.

Obviously, this is not ecological advice; don't trust anyone who thinks they can forecast climate change, etc.

well if the covid lesson is anything to go by, only south korea will actually do something about it while maintaining their brutal chaebol capitalism

i read the title before enlarging the image and was literally going to post that

I would hazard a guess that this is more in reference to climate change causing massive and irreversible economic damage. Like, no matter how hot it gets or how bad tornadoes and hurricanes get, the stock market will still keep trucking along. The wealthiest will still be able to fly their private jets to Davos and vacation six times a year... well... somewhere, just because they can.

I dont think it is... like of those countries listed canada will probably be the most fine, followed by sweden and norway and thailand i guess... but the eastern seaboard of the us is fucked, the central us is probably fucked, and denmark and netherlands aren't going to exist at all.

To be fair to burgerland, it’s not that they failed to handle the pandemic, they simply chose not to.
