It’s not so great for any of our existing economic systems though. Just like capitalism, socialism also relies on the right kind of population growth. Ie you need enough working adults to outnumber every other demographic. To keep this going, you need enough children. The reality is that the retired elderly is about to outnumber every other demographic. Our social safety nets in capitalism and socialism can only work if we can lower the number of retired elderly, or completely end programs like social security and Medicare.

I think the other comments already made the case on how climate drastically changes based on geographically features. Just because the coast isn’t too far away, it doesn’t mean that the weather isn’t drastically different.
Moving 171 miles away in the same country, isn’t exactly uprooting your life either

Why? Vermont is the safest place in the US when it comes to climate change

Because moving to Canada is too much of a hassle and the salaries there are too low, while their cost of living is nearly as high as NYC.
Vermont is the place in the US that will suffer the least from climate change.

Sadly, your state politicians are no different from mine.

Waiting? Lol Climate change has been hitting everyone hard for at least 5 years now.
It’s not just Vermont. I would bet most northern states will see migration in the next decade

They’re right. Climate change will bring an influx of people from the NY and MA. It’s already happening.

The research behind birth rate decline accounts for socioeconomic factors ie it doesn’t matter if economy is great and everyone is earning well. The birth rate will still decline due to something that happened with industrialization. The only countries that aren’t seeing this yet are in central Africa.
