time to buy land on western Antarctica
I don’t think former permafrost will be available for food production any time soon.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-019-0614-6If this looks extreme, it’s because 4 degrees of warming is hard to hit, and is only possible in our most extreme predictions. On a related note, we’re on track to hit our most extreme predictions.
good thing we have vertical farming, A/Cs and fusion power just around the corner to fix all of this. Phew Crisis Averted.
The thing is that at some capacity we will probably have those just before everything collapses too much.
I can’t wait for when we have enough arcologies for 1/3 or 1/4 of the population or so, and 100% of the population trying to get in. Or for how fast it’s going to become real life Judge Dread for the survivors.

And projections were diminished because the real ones would have been disregarded as doomerism.
- Call on your representatives to stop approving new fossil fuel infrastructure.
- Protest fossil fuel infrastructure.
- Call on your representatives to end fossil fuel subsidies.
- Call on your representatives to invest in climate action.
- Switch your energy supplier and/or make your home energy efficient.
- Stop flying as much.
- Support local food systems and adopt a plant-based diet.
- Get an electric vehicle.
- Eat less meat and dairy
- Bank and invest your money responsibly Contact your bank, building society or pension provider to find out where they are investing your money, and ask if you can opt out of funds investing in fossil fuels.Make My Money Matter campaign for banks and pension funds to be invested sustainably. There are also a number of ‘ethical banks’ you can consider for various accounts, including current and savings accounts.
- Change your home’s source of energy Ask your utility company if your home energy comes from oil, coal or gas. If possible, see if you can switch to renewable sources such as wind or solar. Or install solar panels on your roof to generate energy for your home. Switching your home from oil, gas or coal-powered energy to renewable sources of energy, such as wind or solar, can reduce your carbon footprint by up to 1.5 tons of CO2e per year.
- Save energy at home Much of our electricity and heat are powered by coal, oil and gas. Use less energy by reducing your heating and cooling use, switching to LED light bulbs and energy-efficient electric appliances, washing your laundry with cold water, or hanging things to dry instead of using a dryer. Improving your home’s energy efficiency, through better insulation for instance, or replacing your oil or gas furnace with an electric heat pump can reduce your carbon footprint by up to 900 kilograms of CO2e per year.

This is wrong. So very wrong. “Stop flying as much”? Dude, the majority of people that I know didn’t fly airplane a single time in their lives. Small percentage flew perhaps a few times in their decades-long lives.
The lists misses more reasonable things:
- ditch whatever modern “high energy demand” fad there is, be it bitcoin mining or electric car
- spend less time on activities that rely on energy consumption, be it online browsing, or playing high-demand video games
- vote for whatever party there is, that wants to build nuclear power plants and postulate to bring cheap energy to every household
- vote for whatever party plans to do something about urban infrastructure, so that mass transit and bikes become plausible alternative to a car
- as much as possible avoid Chinese stuff, avoid enterprises that outsource their work to China, yes it means skipping yet another iCrap announced
- do not exchange hardware/electronic/digital devices that often, ffs the cpu/gpu/memory values do not matter that much
- don’t change your diet, but consider improving it - eat less, waste less, do not overindulge on delicacies
- learn as much as you can about things that reduce your reliance on the society and the products/services it provides
avoid Chinese stuff
avoid middle eastern stuff also if you know what i mean.
…and as usual, the Mankind survives, adjusting to new reality, be it its own mistakes, or natural disasters.
Life finds the way…
It’ll just take massive migration routes, lack of resources. We’re getting back to our roots
Why is Southern Europe in the middle of Asia?
To avoid tiny illegible text being crammed in there. They’re just using what would otherwise have been empty space to make the information fit.
This has been circulating for years, and the accuracy of its predictions are high at the equator and drops off quickly as you go towards the poles. This map falsely implies that we’ll just move out of danger and be fine. Canada, Siberia, and Western Antarctica are imagined almost as futuristic paradises.

This weirdly assumes that you can farm most of the land in Canada. But you can’t.
At least I won’t have to move. (I’m in Canada.)
Small issue with the map though… a lot of northern Canada is muskeg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muskeg) and rock (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Shield) so it’s not nearly as green and fertile as the map makes it out to be.
This map is why buying a spread of land near Banff has been my goal for a long time.
Also I like the word “Banff”
Can’t blame you, it is absolutely beautiful there. (And the weather is milder than where I am.)
Canada and Russia playing the long game.
This could really be used as a corporate ad. “Hey look what’s in store for humanity! It’s so epic and futuristic”
Something I’ve wondered, whenever looking at this map, is what areas if any would be considered “uninhabitable” on the current earth. For instance, would places like the Sahara desert qualify, according to the scale they use, or do they imagine something worse, for the places marked as such? Mainly because, people do still live in places like the Sahara, even if not at great density, which implies them to not be completely uninhabitable so much as places where human habitation is more difficult than other places.
The Aral Sea would come back again?

If all the places with forests become desert, what are we supposed to breathe while we wait for trees to grow in the new green regions? How exactly is global food production supposed to make an efficient and orderly transition to completely different continents? Is 90% of the world’s population supposed just pick up and move to the yet to be built futuristic cities in different countries?
This is some fairy tale magical bullshit thinking. This looks like almost everyone in the yellow regions die (exceptions are those wealthy and politically connected enough or lucky and useful enough to be taken into a green region). There will be wars over food, water and habitable land. The global refugee crisis will be unfathomable. What happens when hundreds of millions or even billions of people need to get into a neighboring country to live? What if those people are in a country with a sophisticated modern military and are a nuclear power? Dude. We are so fucked.
The world getting 4 degrees warmer is a potential human extinction event
i believe thats 6 degrees
This map shows the andes in south america and the himalayas in asia to be flood zones.
Holy shit.
