    I don’t think “the West” will get off so easily once temperatures in Europe drop by several degrees due to the collapsing Gulf stream.

      Europe will be like Canada. Even a wild Canada climate isnt that big of an issue. Worst case scenario, we can build giant glass domes, like in scifi.

      The West has options and “solutions”. Most countries dont.

        Call me apathetic, but since I literally can’t do anything but vote (and even that seems pointless). The only thing left to keep me sane is think “at least I live in a rich country”. I’m not proud of it, but there’s a great chance that me and mine will suffer drastically less than poorer folks and that’s sort of reassuring.
