      Might have something to do with us spending all the resources fighting wars instead of working together cause apparently petty nationalism is more important than survival of the human species.

            It doesn’t.

            I see only two ways forward. One homogenous society working together, or much smaller, more “tribal” groups of people almost back to the hunter/gatherer style of society, but this would require a massive depopulation of the Earth.

              I guess we’ll see what happens. Although, China seems to be doing fine with 1.4 billion people. So, perhaps there are systems that can work in a large society after all. We’ll see how their experiment goes forward.

                  They’re not immune to climate change, but they are in best position to adapt to it. Certainly possible that there’s going to be no way to adapt if things unravel fast enough. However, having domestic supply chains, nuclear power generation, indoor farming, and so on will all go a long way. China has demonstrated the ability to marshal resources in coordinated fashion unlike any other nation, if anybody has a chance of getting through climate change it’s definitely China.

                    We’ll see. I don’t think any country is going to weather the upcoming climate apocalypse without heavy casualties.

                    Large swaths of the currently habited Earth are going to be unlivable and possibly within a decade or less.
