Climate change will primarily affect Asian and African countries. There will be the largest refugee crisis ever but nothing a bullet to the head can't fix.

Westerners, on the other hand, will just stay at home thanks to AC and pretend everything is fine.

Of course GDP won't be a big deal. By the time the worst effects are there the Chinese population will have aged to the point where getting rid of the elderly is better for the GDP than keeping them.

You should not lump all western nations together. In northern Europe AC doesn't happen at home for the most part. Here in Germany it's a luxury because of the high prices for electricity.

You need to check the projected size of national economies by 2050. India and China overtake US.

People with more money generally can afford more bullets. I wouldn't rely on them.
