When it comes to climate change I’m not sure. We on the poor side of the world already live in a constant crisis and adaptation and drastically changing our way to live might not hit us as hard as for people in first world countries who are used to a high dependence on industry and globalization. In fact, we’re already slowly adapting without most people even noticing.

100% but what you neglect to mention is the poorer world already has far higher mortality rates. This will only make it worse.

I tend to agree that developped countries tend to underestimate the fragility of their systems. But then there still are simple facts like if you spend 10% of your income on food, you can afford significant food price hikes. If you spend 70% of income on food, then a small rise is already lethal.

  True, but on the other hand, if international trade diminishes, we’re on the food production side. The places who depend on imports will be hit much harder.
