    Maybe the warming and freezing will cancel out and the much smaller islands that will be left after the sea levels rise will still be temperate and worth living on.

    Edit: This is not an “I’m alright, Jack” comment. I’d rather this wasn’t even a vague possibility and that the planet wasn’t warming out of control.

      Maybe, but food and water will be extremely scarce. We can’t all just up and move. You and I will almost certainly die of starvation.
