I think in a 100 years there won't be many history books being written. Think of what climate change is gong to do in just the next 30 years, and then be honest with yourself about the next 100. Look at what a small amount of migration has done to global politics, and imagine a couple of billion on the move.

Look at nationalism and populism on the rise. We've passed the point of no-return I think... that will be the lesson for any surviving future historians.

I think you underestimate the adaptative capacities of human society. If global warming doesn't exterminate all human life it'll take about one generation for people to get used to it. On the scale of human history a single generation really isn't much.

"Getting used to it" is... maybe not a doable thing. If you think it is though, I'd be interested in how you see that rapid adaptation playing out.
