Notice how all civilization started in green/dark green areas. All population density is concentrated there too (excluding India). Any good books for somebody who unironically believes in ecological determinism?
To answer your question: >best case scenario: expansion of population density into russia, scandinavia (from europe), siberia (from china/japan), canada (from united states, mexico). Sea water filtration saves dry develop nations (Australia, California, maybe Mexico). Middle east and arid africa is totally fucked. Mystery what will happen to wet warm areas (India, Uganda, Brazil, Indonesia). Prob no mass deaths, but hell hole to live. >worst case: water wars everywhere, breakdown of civ., huge population collapse everywhere
>green dark=civilization beginning Nigga you dumb?

xia dynasty, greeks and romans? If you want to be a dick about it, even mesopotamia is green.
David Young
Mesopotamia is mainly orange on that map. Indus valley isn't green. Yellow river is brown. Egypt is brown. All America's cultural craddles of civ are red.
Henry Peterson
Is there a solution for Africa to still create wealth with this environment? What renewable could they sell to the rest of the world? Is Africa finished?
Mason Walker
fair enough I concede the starting civ. point entirely. The only exception for the population density are India and central america though
Logan Davis
Is life in an Aw environment easy?
Oliver Parker
Green comprises the best areas for large-scale modern farming, with temperate climate and suitable soil, which explains why Europeans used their technological advantage to displace natives and settle in those areas.
But there is no correlation with the areas where agriculture first appeared. Neither Peru, nor Egypt, Mesopotamia or Papua New Guinea are green. Seems you need a little bit of harsh life to force humans to be inventive
Ayden Wilson
Really only India is the exception when looking at the historical maps though
Anthony Hall
Thats a map of what the climates going to be like in a hundred years not what it is now.
Samuel Rodriguez
Yeah, OP is pretty retarded. He posted the 2100 prediction map without specifying what it is, here is the current world map of climate zones.
Also, the thread didn't 404, it got moved to /pol/
It's because it's simpler to grow things in green areas.
Jack Taylor
>in a hundred years the american south with extend as far north as newfoundland
Carson Morgan
>central America between 1500 and 1600
Connor Baker
Africa will be a giant hub with solar panels and thermal technology, where everybody get his energy
Chase Hughes
The deadliest epidemic in Human history by percentage of population affected. (More than 90% died)
Josiah Evans
nope the easiest climate to grow crops in is Dfa
Landon Howard
Soil quality is the most important factor.
Both Dfa and the entire range of Cf and Cs (green colors) are excellent for farming.
Luis Murphy
>china, indo-china and japan have surprisingly bad soil quality Does this chart account for rice cultivation?
Aiden Long
I NEED A BOOK WHERE PEOPLE AUTISTICALLY COMPARE HISTORICAL CIVILIZATIONS AND THE QUALITY AND MAKEUP OF THEIR RESPECTIVE ECOLOGY, CLIMATE AND SOIL. PRETTY PICTURES WOULD BE A PLUS SPOONFEED ME. >no guns, germs and steel pls
Josiah Cox
>in a hundred years europe will have its first eastern deserts in bulgaria and serbia
Connor James
I think thats steppe not desert
Xavier Kelly
probably not
Chase Reed
I mean, if you covered the entire Sahara with solar panels, it would make more than enough power for the entire globe..
Carter Young
The Indus and the Ganges are 2 huge rivers that provide massive amounts of food and water to the locals of Northern India, is it any wonder it's so densely populated? All models of civilizational programs say that India should be the center of global power and not Europe. The fact this didn't happen seems to be an anomaly.
Grayson Hall
FML, I hope I'll be living in Norway by then, it's already too humid here in Connecticut.
Nolan Sanders
The Steppe seems like such a comfy place to live desu.. I hope I can travel across the great Eurasian Steppe someday.
Chase Lopez
I agree. Patagonia is comfy af desu.
Luis Clark
>I hope I can travel across the great Eurasian Steppe someday. No because they'll still be full of cities and people. They might be growing goats and horses rather than pigs and wheat but you won't see much steppe for all the farms and development imo.
Lucas Parker
But have you seen some of the cities? Astana for example looks GORGEOUS. They model the glass skyscrapers after tents and yurts which is really aesthetic against the wide flat plains that surround the city.
Jeremiah Thomas
Not to mention all the fossils out there.. Those paleontologists must have the comfiest time out there..
Nathaniel Perry
wtf i want global warming now
Joshua Scott
Calm down Ivan.
Jordan Clark
Astana a shit, Neo-Hyper-Frisia is the GOAT future european city.
Gavin Roberts
The only problme with global warming is the massive disruption and death it will cause. The world after the warming will actually be more habitable, yes we lose some farmlands and such, but the whole of northern Canada, Alaska, Siberia, not to mention Antarctica will all be open to settlement and agriculture. People in the far future will see it as a good thing.
Grayson Reyes
>Not even thinking about how epic Doggerland would be once it's reclaimed from the sea
Evan Cruz
>Patagonia has polar tundra >OP pic with 2100 barely has polar tundra and is warm fully humid summer time
I went in December, locals told me 10 years ago they used to have snow and now it was windy but rather warm, still had to wear a jacket but it wasn't chilly, (although locals were in t shirts) the glaciers are small and getting smaller, tour guide told us the glaciers are decreasing in the Chilean side and then rise a bit in the Argentinian side, and viceversa, but eventually both sides will melt and no more glaciers in Patagonia. This map graphics it well.
Total shame.
Juan Clark
India has been pretty isolated throughout history from the Himalayas on one side and the Hindu Kush on the other.
They've also always had enough resources that going out to foreign lands was inferior to just annexing the next kingdom over, much like China in a way.
Whereas Europe had resources as well but they also benefited immensely from being so close to the Near/Middle East throughout history. And civilization grows through contact and trade.

Isaiah Turner
user, global climate change with RAISE sea levels, not lower them. Doggerland is gone, it's time to accept that and move on.
Robert Hill
The fuck are you talking about? India has been firmly integrated into global systems for thousands of years, its EUROPE that has been isolated historically thanks to the rise of Islam.
Connor Hill
>Not wanting to dig up and deposit billions of tons of rock and soil into the North Sea NEVER! DOGGERLAND WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART!!!
Julian Robinson
>India has been firmly integrated into global systems for thousands of years I'm talking about large scale contact which allows culture to flourish like with the Indo-Greek kingdoms. >its EUROPE that has been isolated historically Nowhere close. For example, gunpowder reached India centuries after it was already being used in the Middle East and Europe.
Josiah Torres
>I'm talking about large scale contact which allows culture to flourish like with the Indo-Greek kingdoms. What? read a book, India has had continuous large scale constant with all its neighbours for thousands of years. >gunpowder Gunpowder was a state secret like Greek fire, remind me again how many of the Eastern Roman's neighbours learned that little secret from them again?
Aaron Williams
>India has had continuous large scale constant with all its neighbours for thousands of years. Not enough to affect the culture. >how many of the Eastern Roman's neighbours learned that little secret from them again? They're an exception. Gunpowder was used from the 14th century in Europe and even earlier in Central Asia/Middle East.
