Looking at Global Warming is a lot like Looking at the World Wars

Global warming will kill (and likely has already killed (both directly and indirectly) more people than have died in all the wars in the 20th century already.

It's just that you won't see these figures reported anywhere because they have not been tabulated and aren't likely to be.

So, I don't see the 21st century being about World Wars at all (at least in any conventional sense).

NO.

Most people are going to be dying from no jobs and no food and not enough good water to keep them alive. So, instead of cannons and nukes taking people out you are going to see (or maybe better said) not see on the news most of the real deaths caused by global warming.

The people you see dying in fires and floods and droughts and storm surges are just the tip of the iceberg of those wiped out financially, with no place to live from then on with their businesses gone with no insurance, of people wiped out to the point where they are homeless on the streets all over the planet and from there often there is no way back. And so, sooner or later they wait to die in many if not most cases.

So, the deaths reported are ONLY the tip of the iceberg of the amount of people actually dying from global warming now around the world including in the U.S.

And this is sure (given present circumstances) at the present rate of increase of global warming incidents worldwide.

At first, the rich will survive mostly and maybe the middle class too. But, more and more everyone will be wiped out worldwide as the gyrations of hot to cold to over 100 mph winds become more prevalent worldwide over time.

We live in transition times where people might survive still in hurricane areas and rebuild and live in fire prone areas and rebuild. But, eventually this won't be practical for a variety of reasons. People who want to live in those areas more and more will own motorhomes or mobile homes that they can move at the first sign of trouble. If you can move your home to a safe location until the danger passes this makes more and more sense over time. Or, if you can build your home underground to protect from fires (or on stilts to protect from floods and hurricanes that might be useful too. Or even own a boat big enough to ride out the flooding that you park on your property to Ride out flooding or hurricanes or storm surges. People will find all sorts of ways to survive everything from now on.

If you can imagine it you can do it.
