Lex Fridman Podcast · #339 – Climate Change Debate: Bjørn Lomborg and Andrew Revkin · 18 Nov 2022 podcast

That could affect a lot of agriculture and make it really hard to imagine that you could feed India well.

There are these kinds of things where you can imagine and then that this would be very difficult to deal with.

And then if you add all of it up, you could possibly get sort of a system collapse because, you know, you just have too many problems.

So there are people who looked at this and surprisingly, again, you know, most people will move within their country for a lot of different reasons, but, you know, mainly language and political structure.

You have your money, you have your relationships there.

So it's not like we're going to see these big moves, you know, from...

uh, from, uh, from the Southern Mexico and, uh, and Central America up to the U S or from Africa up to the EU.

That's not predominantly because of climate that's because there is a lot of, you know, uh, there's a lot of welfare opportunity.

Uh, you can make your life much, much better and you can become much more productive if you move into a richer, uh, into a richer country.

So, yes, there are these issues.

Again, you're asking me for sort of what is it that could really sort of break down the world.

I think the fundamental point is to recognize that it's not like we haven't dealt with huge challenges in the past.

And we've dealt with them really well.

So just one fun thing.

I encourage everyone to just look that up on Wikipedia.

The rising of Chicago.

Yeah.

So in the 1850s, Chicago was a terribly dirty place and they didn't have good sewers.

And so they decided – and we can't really make up all – they decided to raise Chicago one to two feet.

And so they simply took one block at a time.
