I would happily drive electric cars and power my house and electronics off solar power if the infrastructure was readily available to support its usage and cost was affordable or highly subsidized.

If you don't do it to prevent climate change, you'll eventually be doing it because of climate change. If you survive at all.

People who think that's hyper alarmist underestimate how nasty things will get when the harvest fails.

Yeah. A few cities flood, then infrastructure fails. Looting and violence. Panic.

People move out ... to where?

Now multiply this by a few cities every ten years. It's going to be nasty.
