populated by poor people) and in places with marginal climates (i.e., africa), agricultural yields will fall even with modest 1 - 2C increases in temperature.
Yet this refuge is an anonymous place
populated by slack - spirited
people, rich and
poor alike, who are all comfortably pacified
by the bland but steady provisions of a nanny state.
