There will also be many positive effects from climate change. Human development can expand into areas like central northern Canada, Siberia, and Antarctica. Climate change is not something to be afraid of, it is something to be taken advantage of.
One of the biggest positive outcomes of climate change is the reduction of the human population to a manageable level. There is no way that the current population can be sustained as climate change effects begin to reduce our ability to produce food.

The breadbasket of the continental USA is one of the areas that will be hit the hardest. Biggest impact would be the conversion of the Great Plains to a desert region, which as you point out might be a boon for Canada which is likely to survive the worst of it. The West and the Southeast will also be hit hard, and would not be surprised to see a third of Florida underwater in 50 years. Northeast US may be affected the least.

Plenty of coastal flooding maps and predicted temperature maps out there, many are of course based on junk science but there is no doubt it is coming, at some level.

I disagree that we should not be afraid of it. This is going to be the biggest calamity that the human race has ever experienced in modern times. The ensuing chaos will make the destruction we saw in WW1 and WW2 look like skirmishes.

I'm not accepting or rejecting anything I am just refusing to support the Solution and so long as global warming alarmists continue to push the Solution on us the rest of what you say does not matter.

Why aren’t governments around the world talking about serious adaptation protocols since everyone knows there’s no way humans are going to make the dramatic economic and physical changes that it would take to reduce enough carbon emissions.

Democrats are the biggest movers and shakers on climate change, so why aren’t they dealing with reality, and coming up with adaptation scenarios?

They know we aren’t going to give up cars, heat, AC and a modern lifestyle, so why aren’t they approaching this with a more realistic tactic?
