Migration due to climate will happen over centuries. It's not like a war where one second it's livable and the next second, shells are flying. It's incredibly slow incremental change.

In a hypothetical world without climate change, billions of people would be moving around the world over the next century or two anyway.

I hope you’re right and I’m sorry for sounding so cynical. I live in a city that invited a climate change denier to keynote our renewable city conference. He wasn’t even a good climate change denier - we found the absolute bottom of the barrel lunatic type. That still kills me and makes me genuinely worry that we’re a little too dumb to make it out of this one with the first world intact.

Edit - I’d honestly rather not articulate my fears for the developing world.
