    At this point the countries in temperate climates would seal their borders. The people living near the equator will become stuck, dependent on the the richer nations for their very survival. Once the effects of global warming began creeping up toward the United States and Europe, we will use our superior firepower to force an oil embargo on weaker nations.

    It’s going to be fucked up and evil, but it’s unlikely to be uniformly bad for everyone. From an economic perspective, alot of people will benefit.

      The wealth of industrialized nations is only possible through exploitation of developing countries. When conditions there become literally unlivable, everything collapses and everyone loses. maybe russia could slightly benefit since they aren’t doing super well as is and have a lot of land that will become pretty good. Even then, they can kiss goodbye to seafood forever, and it certainly won’t be easy.
