>Personally, I think it's easier to adapt.

It's not about you. You realize how much of the center of America has had historic droughts in the last year? It's not going to be easy to adapt to when we can't grow food in the areas that we normally do. I mean, maybe the U.S. will make it work because we have guns and money, but Jesus, hundreds of millions of people could die. In fact, it seems likely that that will happen in the next century. Are those hundreds of millions just not trying hard enough to adapt?

>But let me know if you fear the day when 120 degree summers are normal in NYC, and I'll recommend a good therapist for you.

It's not about 120 degree summers. You realize that all it takes is a degree or two for downtown Manhattan to not exist anymore, right?

Three months ago, I couldn't get to work for ten days thanks to the worst hurricane NYC's ever seen. Give it ten years and that very well could be the norm.
