Think its not as easy without considering all the other models. With climate change, its not just elevated temperatures but also extreme weather which can make or break the choice of areas to migrate to. If you look at the current extreme weather occurrences, they are all happening mostly in the temperate zones. Tropical and equatorial zones have elevated temperatures but not all have extreme weather which is a lot harder to defend against than temperature. People in Northern Africa and Middle East have adapted to the high temperatures but how does one adapt to extreme weather conditions? I think while temperature is a factor, it isn't the most important factor. As you have pointed out, people can and have adapted to temperature changes. I think the crucial ones are water availability and extreme weather probability or frequency. Who would want to move to an area where water supply is unpredictable or where the likelihood of your home being swept away by floods or blown to pieces by winds? Its a lot harder to recover from. If I were to guess, I think the equatorial regions would be ideal because of the bountiful availability of solar energy and other renewables as well as fresh water.
AMOC shutting down would be such a catastrophe, it's unbelievable really. Iirc they said in a recent talk by a climate scientist that Norway could cool down as much as 20 degrees within a decade. Not even considering the southern hemisphere heating up even further.

In the case of Mexico, there are areas that suffer a lot from water shortages and extreme temperatures due to high pressure systems, what is seens is that the areas above the tropics would become more humid and temperate, such as the northeast of the country. These areas do not have a large population, but the center, which has the most temperate climates and abundance of water, will be greatly affected by water shortages, the majority of the country's population lives there. Maybe Tamaulipas and Sinaloa will become something similar to the current southern China

The main question is..

Good question. Sadly, the developed world is already shifting to an anti-immigant, extreme right-wing agenda. This will only worsen as climate change accelerates. A likely outcome is that the native populations will close their eyes to their militaristic government's increasingly brutal expulsions of immigrants and refugees. Systematic massacres will occur offshore and in the sparsely populated border regions. Any dissenters or non-conformists within the country will also face the same fate.

Seems hard to conjecture, given that heat distribution patterns are changing fundamentally, rather than being changed on just one parameter. It would be interesting if atmospheric circulation cells also had a propensity to change, as that would throw out every assumption. The only way to study something like that in the past is through study of identifiable volcanic ash drift.

i am curious why you used the word "flood" to talk about human mouvement. This to me has an undertone of de-humanisation, and could lead to misrepresentation of personhood in many way, including how they will act during forcefull migration.
All the recommendations he's making for cities to retain populations is basically the anathema of conservative politics, which in the USA is mainly centred in departure areas.
I'm a few months late to this comment section; Having been trained early on in a 'wealthier' municipality public works program (Urban Forestry) and later on, state and federal resource programs, I have some knowledge of the task(s) coming at us all. Most 'modern' cities have been built to handle projected populations, this includes sewerage, water, roads, grids, etc. The numbers spoken on the video will very early on absolutely overwhelm even smaller migrations. Look at the sewerage question; even IF you could expand a facility - the inflow is only built to take a certain volume of waste. Eventually the facility would have to speed up the processing which isn't really possible with existing tech resulting in water quality declines. And that is just ONE issue that will greatly/negatively affect health issues. It un-spools really fast - materials needed for housing needs will vastly outstrip supplies - existing housing to be properly climatized are already outstripping materials needed in Britain, and that's just one example....and on and on it will go. Glaciologist/Ice Scientist Dr. Lonnie Thompson said, "the near future will be the saddest in humanity's history." Selfish living on a finite planet is OVER people wake up, and hope for the best.
Yeah... most cities (including modern ones) can't even manage to build/maintain infrastructure at current predictable rates of population growth. There's no way this goes well with truly massive migrations.
7:11 Interesting that a wide band across central Australia-which is currently mostly desert-is modelled as becoming more suitable for human habitation...
no offense meant, but this is a joke. 11 Hiroshima bombs worth of heat per second, a current exponential doubling rate of 14 years and Hansen's latest forcing calculations take us right back to Arrhenius formulae which was discovered before we even invented the vacuum cleaner. Right now, even if we went carbon neutral today, the thermostat is set to +8c of total warming for the current GHG's and if our poisonous sulphur shield fails at any moment, we can add almost 2c more of incoming energy from the sun in months. It is over. Rockstrom is really quite clear on the carry capacity in just a 4c world. Talk of cities is quite frankly, nuts.
Oh and the AMOC collapse which has been nose diving for the last 90 years will hit around the same time as the significant food shocks.. just in case we did not have enough problems to occupy us.
Do you not follow Hansen and Peter Carter and folks like that !? the climate models the IPCC are using, are using the wrong forcings and are invalid. Argue with Hansen about it, it is his work 1.2 ± 0.3°C (2σ) per W/m2, which is 4.8°C ± 1.2°C for doubled CO2.
@@trenomas1 I do not. I think we need to use the bones of this old world to build ourseleves some real sea defences. the oceans are going to rise a lot. If we have any chance at all of saving numbers, then we need the land to stay.

If we need to we can dredge oceans for more, it can only but help. In the place of our existing construction technology, I would be using a combination of black glass and foam glass as the external building materials done in such a style that the external glass contains tubes in which we can pass refrigerants. Foamglass is an exceptional form of insulation that is entirely renewable. This particular combination will allow ALL of our buildings to take it upon themselves to convert all incoming light to heat and whisk it away to our underground thermal storage. From there we use cascading heat pumps to bring it up to useful temps and then convert it to electricity to power the copper based LED lights that are growing the food under our houses.

There is no way planting too many trees is or has been an issue. Forests are in decline and such warnings as you trumpet are, well, unnecessary.. You can think what you want as nothing you say will make a difference anyway. Interesting thumbnail and issue to discuss though.

Trees are just like any living thing, there can be too much and there can be too little, some zones never had trees before and planting trees there would kill the local flora and fauna, the dose makes the medicine.
@@lelagrangeeffectphysics4120 My thoughts are humans have only very recently became involved in choosing what goes where. In the over the long term past of trees and forests could grow they would grow. I even think it was some lucky circumstances that allowed climax forests to exist over large areas which produced this Goldilocks stable climate over the last 13,000 years or something. Now the forests are extremely reduced and the real extremes in the climate will be what dominates the future. So its just me but I can't understand any highlighted negative qualities about trees.

We have conclusively proven that the rise in temperature that we have seen globally is caused by the greenhouse effect and increased atmospheric CO2, and not from variations in heating from the sun, because the sun has a relatively greater impact on daytime temperatures and temperatures near the equator, wheras greenhouse effect is heating of the earth by retaining more heat in the atmosphere which causes more of the temperature rise to occur at night and nearer to the poles. What we have observed on earth is the latter. The 1.5C increase in global temperature we have observed is not evenly distributed across the global and across times of day. We have seen maybe a 5-6C increase in night time temps at the poles, but only a 1/5 degree increase in average daytime temps at the equator. People often find it unexpected that we have seen such dramatic greening of the planet, particularly in desert areas near the equator, from the increased level of CO2 in the air, because some have expected the increase in global temperature to make spots on the equator too hot for plants to grow. But, since our warming is caused by the greenhouse effect, there has been close to zero increase in the hot daytime temperatures at the equator. Climate migration would require land to be less suitable for plant life. Fortunately, to date, all land is more favorable for plants due to climate change. To actually increase daytime temperatures at the equator by a couple of degrees C, you'd need the global temperature to increase by 10 or more degrees, which certainly will not happen for many many hundreds of years at the current or even accelerated rates of temperature rise.

The way for developed nations to solve climate migration: Have a *very thorough* vetting process, rather than an open borders guilt complex. Nobody is obligated to let a stranger into their house/company/territory/nation/etc.--especially not a stranger that shares nothing in common with them--not language, values, skin tone (empirically speaking, it matters), politics, tolerance, ethos, etc. I'm pretty sure someone did a study (or multiple such studies) that shows people self-segregate when left to their own devices, and some areas of Europe (particularly France) becoming unsafe at night *because* of some such migrants should serve as a stark lesson about vetting one's entrants. Just as private firms have interview processes for prospective hires, so *too* should nations have vetting processes for prospective immigrants. Popper's paradox of tolerance states that it is cruel to many people to tolerate the intolerable. We've already seen frictions aplenty with tolerating the absolutely wrong type of people (see: various parts of Europe, the stupidity happening at Columbia University, etc.)--no need to blow that up times a million. It's not a warm and fuzzy takeaway for sure, but, the real world isn't always warm and fuzzy, and sometimes, protecting the people one is responsible for means turning away various out-groups.
@RNG-ts5gn it isn't addressing how to mitigate climate change--it's addressing its consequences--namely, what can developed nations do against the potential logistical threat posed by climate migration? To which my answer is: close the doors, and justification as to why. But in the meantime, yes, there is *plenty* that can and should be done to also mitigate the effects of climate change. It's not one or the other. It's a "yes, AND".

The main question is.. Will that many people be able to move without inducing the purge response in already established native populations to the north? thats apart from the fact that any country that hasnt developed by now is pretty much doomed economicly and will stop developing or even go backwards due to this temperature issue
Good question. Sadly, the developed world is already shifting to an anti-immigant, extreme right-wing agenda. This will only worsen as climate change accelerates. A likely outcome is that the native populations will close their eyes to their militaristic government's increasingly brutal expulsions of immigrants and refugees. Systematic massacres will occur offshore and in the sparsely populated border regions. Any dissenters or non-conformists within the country will also face the same fate.
Going backwards could be the only way to make it through the coming bottleneck.

Here's hoping you won't be the only permaculture urbanist for long
Seems hard to conjecture, given that heat distribution patterns are changing fundamentally, rather than being changed on just one parameter. It would be interesting if atmospheric circulation cells also had a propensity to change, as that would throw out every assumption. The only way to study something like that in the past is through study of identifiable volcanic ash drift.

i am curious why you used the word "flood" to talk about human mouvement. This to me has an undertone of de-humanisation, and could lead to misrepresentation of personhood in many way, including how they will act during forcefull migration.

All the recommendations he's making for cities to retain populations is basically the anathema of conservative politics, which in the USA is mainly centred in departure areas.
Within countries people head to warmer areas. Not to cooler areas.
Theres a limit though, people in Australia dont exactly love the desert
people move to where its never freezing, less so where itll maybe cause heatstroke. California and the Mediterranean
I'm a few months late to this comment section; Having been trained early on in a 'wealthier' municipality public works program (Urban Forestry) and later on, state and federal resource programs, I have some knowledge of the task(s) coming at us all.
Most 'modern' cities have been built to handle projected populations, this includes sewerage, water, roads, grids, etc. The numbers spoken on the video will very early on absolutely overwhelm even smaller migrations. Look at the sewerage question; even IF you could expand a facility - the inflow is only built to take a certain volume of waste. Eventually the facility would have to speed up the processing which isn't really possible with existing tech resulting in water quality declines.
And that is just ONE issue that will greatly/negatively affect health issues. It un-spools really fast - materials needed for housing needs will vastly outstrip supplies - existing housing to be properly climatized are already outstripping materials needed in Britain, and that's just one example....and on and on it will go. Glaciologist/Ice Scientist Dr. Lonnie Thompson said, "the near future will be the saddest in humanity's history."
Selfish living on a finite planet is OVER people wake up, and hope for the best.
this will take many years tho no? it couldnt be impossible to expand infrastructure if people are willing enough
Yeah... most cities (including modern ones) can't even manage to build/maintain infrastructure at current predictable rates of population growth. There's no way this goes well with truly massive migrations.
Thx for sharing this information. Leaving a legacy based on your life learning. Very helpful
7:11 Interesting that a wide band across central Australia-which is currently mostly desert-is modelled as becoming more suitable for human habitation...
smart thinking
no offense meant, but this is a joke.
11 Hiroshima bombs worth of heat per second, a current exponential doubling rate of 14 years and Hansen's latest forcing calculations take us right back to Arrhenius formulae which was discovered before we even invented the vacuum cleaner.
Right now, even if we went carbon neutral today, the thermostat is set to +8c of total warming for the current GHG's and if our poisonous sulphur shield fails at any moment, we can add almost 2c more of incoming energy from the sun in months.
It is over.
Rockstrom is really quite clear on the carry capacity in just a 4c world.
Talk of cities is quite frankly, nuts.
Oh and the AMOC collapse which has been nose diving for the last 90 years will hit around the same time as the significant food shocks.. just in case we did not have enough problems to occupy us.
Do you not follow Hansen and Peter Carter and folks like that !? the climate models the IPCC are using, are using the wrong forcings and are invalid. Argue with Hansen about it, it is his work
1.2 ± 0.3°C (2σ) per W/m2, which is 4.8°C ± 1.2°C for doubled CO2.
Cities are here though. Ultimately i think it's best to revolutionize cities than to throw your hands up and shrug.
@@trenomas1 I do not. I think we need to use the bones of this old world to build ourseleves some real sea defences. the oceans are going to rise a lot.
If we have any chance at all of saving numbers, then we need the land to stay.
We have literal billions of tons of carbon to put somewhere... why not build sea walls and work on an epic task of carbon to soil to fill those nation walls up with soil.
If we need to we can dredge oceans for more, it can only but help.
In the place of our existing construction technology, I would be using a combination of black glass and foam glass as the external building materials done in such a style that the external glass contains tubes in which we can pass refrigerants.
Foamglass is an exceptional form of insulation that is entirely renewable.
This particular combination will allow ALL of our buildings to take it upon themselves to convert all incoming light to heat and whisk it away to our underground thermal storage. From there we use cascading heat pumps to bring it up to useful temps and then convert it to electricity to power the copper based LED lights that are growing the food under our houses.
I am not one to 'put my hands up and shrug'
@@gigabane7357why not just grab all the black glass and foam glass and concentrate into one point making it basicly a sort solar powerplant and cover population center with white reflective shields, dont over complicate!

Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation, habitat destruction, water pollution, ocean dead zones and *species extinction* . -United Nations FAO
Animal agriculture uses 83% of global farmland and only provides 18% of global calories. When we switch to a plant based food system, we can restore/reforest 76% of global farmland AND be able to feed all humans. -journal Science

There is no way planting too many trees is or has been an issue. Forests are in decline and such warnings as you trumpet are, well, unnecessary..
You can think what you want as nothing you say will make a difference anyway. Interesting thumbnail and issue to discuss though.
I'm wanting to judge permaculture people and to figure out the difference between those who are and those who bait & switch. Maybe you can do a video in this. Perhaps a few books requiring reading should be on the list like Permaculture A Designers' Manual, and one or more of David Holmgren's work. The real permaculture people.
Trees are just like any living thing, there can be too much and there can be too little, some zones never had trees before and planting trees there would kill the local flora and fauna, the dose makes the medicine.
@@lelagrangeeffectphysics4120 My thoughts are humans have only very recently became involved in choosing what goes where. In the over the long term past of trees and forests could grow they would grow.
I even think it was some lucky circumstances that allowed climax forests to exist over large areas which produced this Goldilocks stable climate over the last 13,000 years or something. Now the forests are extremely reduced and the real extremes in the climate will be what dominates the future.
So its just me but I can't understand any highlighted negative qualities about trees.

All of history tells us that we’re not going to heed climate change until it already happens. At this point 5 degrees is inevitable.
We have conclusively proven that the rise in temperature that we have seen globally is caused by the greenhouse effect and increased atmospheric CO2, and not from variations in heating from the sun, because the sun has a relatively greater impact on daytime temperatures and temperatures near the equator, wheras greenhouse effect is heating of the earth by retaining more heat in the atmosphere which causes more of the temperature rise to occur at night and nearer to the poles. What we have observed on earth is the latter. The 1.5C increase in global temperature we have observed is not evenly distributed across the global and across times of day. We have seen maybe a 5-6C increase in night time temps at the poles, but only a 1/5 degree increase in average daytime temps at the equator. People often find it unexpected that we have seen such dramatic greening of the planet, particularly in desert areas near the equator, from the increased level of CO2 in the air, because some have expected the increase in global temperature to make spots on the equator too hot for plants to grow. But, since our warming is caused by the greenhouse effect, there has been close to zero increase in the hot daytime temperatures at the equator. Climate migration would require land to be less suitable for plant life. Fortunately, to date, all land is more favorable for plants due to climate change. To actually increase daytime temperatures at the equator by a couple of degrees C, you'd need the global temperature to increase by 10 or more degrees, which certainly will not happen for many many hundreds of years at the current or even accelerated rates of temperature rise.
Great video 👌

All was fine until I hear 20 km/hr while driving... may as well walk! (not a bad idea) ... who knows...in my city they are installing more and more cable cars... (the kind up in the air)... here in Mexico City, which go in strait lines more or less and avoid winding roads... that could be.
Walking speed is 4-5 km/h.
@@tandrasz You're right, but in any case we can always adjust the speed...here in Mexico City on regular city streets and avenues the maximun is 50 km/hr....it was established about 7 years ago... some complained but it is meant to avoid deaths due to people being run over... on side streets it's 40km/hr and 30 or 20 in school areas... my point is 20 km/hr is definately too slow to my liking. The other aspect is actually enforcing it which is a whole other story. City buses and taxis think they can break all the laws... also motor bikes are a big thing now and they like to squeeze between lanes... I could go on and on...
Youd have more public transport ideally, so you wouldnt need to drive a car unless it was absolutely necessary (old/disabled)

The way for developed nations to solve climate migration:
Have a *very thorough* vetting process, rather than an open borders guilt complex.
Nobody is obligated to let a stranger into their house/company/territory/nation/etc.--especially not a stranger that shares nothing in common with them--not language, values, skin tone (empirically speaking, it matters), politics, tolerance, ethos, etc.
I'm pretty sure someone did a study (or multiple such studies) that shows people self-segregate when left to their own devices, and some areas of Europe (particularly France) becoming unsafe at night *because* of some such migrants should serve as a stark lesson about vetting one's entrants. Just as private firms have interview processes for prospective hires, so *too* should nations have vetting processes for prospective immigrants.
Popper's paradox of tolerance states that it is cruel to many people to tolerate the intolerable. We've already seen frictions aplenty with tolerating the absolutely wrong type of people (see: various parts of Europe, the stupidity happening at Columbia University, etc.)--no need to blow that up times a million.
It's not a warm and fuzzy takeaway for sure, but, the real world isn't always warm and fuzzy, and sometimes, protecting the people one is responsible for means turning away various out-groups.
@RNG-ts5gn it isn't addressing how to mitigate climate change--it's addressing its consequences--namely, what can developed nations do against the potential logistical threat posed by climate migration? To which my answer is: close the doors, and justification as to why.
But in the meantime, yes, there is *plenty* that can and should be done to also mitigate the effects of climate change. It's not one or the other. It's a "yes, AND".
@RNG-ts5gn if you're going to label me with something, how about "climate empiricist" or "climate logistician"? We see in NYC what a (relatively) small number of unexpected migrants has done. Logistics and empirical results do not care about ideology.
shutting out potentially millions of people at the border is as big of a security risk as dispersing them inside the borders.
