The Futurology Thread

I can't see how the scale of migration and humanitarian support needed won't lead to a more divided society in the UK about how we respond, it will make any existing political polarisation look like a minor blip

I completely agree. We are facing the largest migration of humans in history as the climate emergency progresses and we're stuck with nationalist politics and with growing post truth-ism surround the environment.

If people are worried about immigration to the Uk despite the very valid economic case for it, imagine how they feel when the water runs out and a billion people are on the move with the singlular goal of not dying of thirst?

Whats going to happen? Lets start a good old fashioned LFGSS list of possibilities:

1) The world takes steps to slow, stall and eventually reverse human induced climate change, invests in infrastructure and education in the developing world.
2) The areas of the world most damaged by climate change will return to feudalism, with the billionaire class providing access to food and water in return for mineral rights and labour.
3) The developed world takes no responsibility for the developing world and institutes eco-facism while the nationalistic willy waving grows to a crescendo.
4) Nuclear armageddon, killing the majority of humans, leading to the great reset.
5)

Any more possibilities to add?
