Many of the areas with exclusionary zoning and mortgage backed securities will end up flooded while the Canadian archipelago and northern Greenland will become inhabitable. We'll have a chance to make housing affordable and build infrastructure reasonably. IMO: it's not all bad.

On balance, most research suggests that the negative impacts of a changing climate far outweigh the positive impacts. Current civilization—agriculture and population distribution—has developed based on the current climate. The more the climate changes, and the more rapidly it changes, the greater the cost of adaptation.

 Those species, and in some cases, entire ecosystems, that cannot quickly migrate or adapt, face extinction.

On balance sure, but some groups of people will benefit, specifically those that recognize what's happening and prepare. This is an opportunity for those that have been excluded to rise up.

Not bothered. If this stuff does anything at all i'll be long dead. Besides it can't be that bad anyways. As long as we don't go all termites on this planet by overpopulating it with morons we'll be alright...
