RE: The Sky Is Not Falling: Overpopulation - Coming Disaster or Myth? (Featuring @jaredcwillis as Author)
Do you believe that Climate change will have any impact on Overpopulation?
One hypothesis is that as the earth warms, population densities will significantly increase closer to the poles. (As long as food is sustainable)
That is an interesting theory, one of the things that I came across when researching this article was an entire discussion on our ability to adapt to climate change. I strongly believe that humanity, regardless of what ends up happening to the climate, will have the ability to adapt and survive. Utilizing the poles could be part of that. Additionally, we are beginning to look outward from earth and identifying planets that are potentially habitable!
Of course it will. The migration of populations will generally be away from the equator, but even there will be problems with unusual storms and flooding. It will be decades and centuries before the specific migration trends will be known, but death and famine are sure to come along with it.
