    Assuming that is 100km from the border, a country formed by that map would still be roughly in the top 30 biggest countries, about the land area of Egypt and significantly bigger than France or chile.

        That I knew, but the phrasing seems sarcastic towards climate change, that’s mainly what i wanted clarity on.

        Building on your answer, if the Gulf Stream were to break, Europe’s temperatures would drop, and at the moment there is still no understanding of how close we are to the Gulf Stream collapsing.

        To answer your question, it was indeed a sarcastic comment on the BS surrounding CC being somehow more politically acceptable than the truth of GW. I’ve never been a proud American (in part because of the truth in “pride goeth before a fall,” even though I’m not religious), but I’ve never been less proud than I’ve been forced to become over the past couple of decades.

          Global warming… …er, I mean “Climate Change…” …will take care of that first issue, and the cascade effect of humans moving northward due to such will take care of the rest.

          Unfortunately climate change makes many northern communities, that are dependent in permafrost to allow trucks to pass, less accessible. At least in the short and medium term.

            Gotta love the magic of trying to map a 3D sphere into a 2D space. This article I just searched up seems at first glance to do a reasonable job of quickly explaining the reality.

              Coastlines are fractals, so they’re all infinite and therefore equal.

                  Global warming fell out of favor, while true: morr energy in the system, higher average temperatures; it confuses some people.

                  I.e. more energy means more extreme extremes. So cold events can also get worse and more frequent. To a lay person that’s a contradiction.

                  Climate change gained favor as a more lay friendly name.

                  Also there was some idiot US congressman/senator who brought a snowball into the house as evidence that global warming was a hoax.

                      As the other commenter said, Global Warming fell out of favor because it underlines only one part of the full problem. The weather in most places is getting warmer, but other things are also happening connected to it: extreme events are becoming more and more common, such as drought, flooding and forest fires, that might not seem included in the wording global warming but is clearly described by climate change.

                        The science is still very unclear, both from a modeling perspective (what are the pieces of the puzzle and how to connect them), a simplified perspective (what pieces are most important) and a theoretical perspective (what typical behavior should we detect close to the collapse).

                        Unfortunately, the latter one’s answer seems to be that close to bifurcations in statistical differential equations the variance of a system increases. Decrypting the math: close to a sudden change, we should experience a wider variety of events that usual, in particular more extreme events. This seems to be happening to the AMOC, but support for the claim is still weak and unclear (because the modeling is unclear, so we don’t know what pieces should be included in the problem).

                                    If you go far enough, you get racism, followed by unaffordable housing.
