That looks really interesting. the thesis makes sense on the face of it.

Natural climate changes have obviously triggered famines and mass migrations. Along those lines, I just heard an analysis that even if we can keep the temperature increase to 2C, which looks less and less likely, there will be at least a billion climate refugees roaming the world by 30 years from now. Methinks the only way to keep borders closed would be extreme violence at a level unacceptable to civilized people.

The US itself will face real problems as lack of water and increasing temperatures make much of your southwest uninhabitable, even as sea level rise and ever more intense storms make much of Florida and the Gulf and south Atlantic coasts uninhabitable.

I have several friends with really good jobs in the Phoenix area that are going to quit and leave town because they are finding the increasing temperatures unbearable. They tell me things have been so extreme that for part of the year, if you don't have access to air conditioning you won't survive for long.

And other friends are leaving similar situations in the Bay Area because they don't want to raise their kids amidst the fires and smoke that have become endemic to the area every summer.
