Frequently, I hear people say the wealthy developed world won't experience as much climate disaster as the rest of the world. Is that... really very accurate? (hexbear.net)

...cus like I hear that and, well, you see the cover image. international-community-1international-community-2

Is it just that so much more of the world is underdeveloped (overexploited) and it's just raw statistics? I guess I could see that explanation. But. Also. I've been to Pheonix.

Nah, just racist brainworms. How climate change will affect each country is hard to predict, but I'd guess (worst to best)

  • south and southeast Asia will be the worst affected due to heatwaves and famines
  • Meditteranean Europe will become hotter and drier
  • Atlantic Europe will become very cold as the Gulf Stream weakens.
  • eastern Amazon turns into a grassland or even a desert, causing droughts in Brazil
  • north america moderately affected
  • southern and western South America, and Southern Africa, moderately affected
  • northern Russia might benefit but southern Russia and Central Asia would become too hot and dry
  • China will figure out something (assuming no WW3)
  • north and West Africa could benefit from increased rainfall and the greening of the Sahara.

Obviously, this is not ecological advice; don't trust anyone who thinks they can forecast climate change, etc.
