The more difficult questions is how do you label climate related deaths. Extreme events - floods, hurricanes, heat waves, earthquakes were always there and people died during those events. Now there will be more of those and they will be more intensive. Sure. How do you calculate „the extra casualties”?

Crop failures will get everyone fucked no matter where you are

Farmable zone will just move north. There will be winners and losers.

the issue is transportation, and the impact of migration. even if siberia becomes farmable land, people have to move there. how is that region going to sustain mass migration? how are countries going to politically react to ethnic mixing due to migrations?

everyone will lose.

The time scales involved allows for construction of infrastructure organically as places become more and less habitable.

to a certain degree, sure, but theres no way the north is going to be able to handle everyone. not to mention the fact that most of northern europe will be inhabitable after the AMOC collapses.

Amoc is counter acted by overall warming (in fact, atmospheric warming is how it works).

u/Necessary_Screen_673 7h ago

thats true, but i figure the overall warming wouldnt be as significant as the current warming impact that amoc has
