    Oh right of course, the economy being globalized also means everyone everywhere has the same standard of living, perfectly equally distributing resources despite massive local and regional differences in geography, culture, populatiion density, thank god communism has been achieved.

    Also, of course, climate change will just have precisely the same climatic effects over all of these highly varied areas.

    And finally, it certainly will not be the case that industrialized and militarized technologically advanced societies will displace and dispose of any indigenous populations on now relatively fertile land, nor will poor subsistence farmers who already live on extremely thin margins be obliterated by the slightest breach of those margins… or just physically displaced by rising sea levels or floods or fires literally permanently destroying the land they work.

    No, there are just no historical precedents for anything like that, no.

    … You can’t possibly be serious, can you?
