Europe's all-time heat record set in Sicily at nearly 120 degrees

This is not the case with Italy, but what are we going to do with uninhabitable areas in the future? Think the horn of Africa or parts of the Middle East.

Large parts of MENA are already de facto lawless areas, where the official government doesn't exert any meaningful control, due to political factors.

Now throw in deadly year-round climates on top.

Every piece of land on this planet is claimed as sovereign territory by one state or another, except Antarctica.

What if millions of square miles of land become progressively climate no man's lands? Will local governments even bother claiming these lands for themselves?

What? Extract the resources and not live there. Settle Antarctica. Murder the mass refugees. The usual shit.

And yeah, countries will claim and fight over useless pieces of land. There's plenty of people who can be sent to die defending or occupying it.

Don't like reality? Downvote and live in lalaland until a "sudden tragedy" happens "out of nowhere".
