Perhaps. A lot of people (probably even the majority) are going to have their lives shattered. The poor can't afford to move. Even if they own their little piece of land, they won't be able to sell it and buy something where it isn't swamped by an ocean, or desertified by lack of rain. Sure...albaby's-babies-babies should be just fine leaving Miami.

In the past, they said oil was cheaper. Even now, a lot of people say it. But I think in the long term, it will be more expensive because of all that will have to be done to adapt to the warmer world.

Of course, that excludes coal. Though we can actually use scrubbers to deal with coal emissions. People fight that, too, as "too expensive". Building a sea wall around Manhattan (I doubt that city is going to move) will be hideously expensive.**


**Though look on the bright side...JOBS! And the raised taxes to pay for the workers to build and maintain that seawall.
