In truth, I wouldn't invest in Colombia either.The effect of heat upon the human body is basically understood, at least with heat related stress and heat exhaustion, and what studies have generally found is that the body requires a cool period at night to recover. While the equator will warm as will the rest of the world, temperatures will fail to fall at night and thus portions may become uninhabitable for unprotected human beings.
Global warming is causing global effects that vary widely dependent upon topography, elevation, and latitude, and we are unfortunately learning “on the job”. We were trying to understand is the ultimate and eventual cost of climate change.
A case in study: Two years ago, a third of Pakistan flooded, then, 21 March 2023 – “Six months after catastrophic floods struck Pakistan, more than 10 million people, including children, living in flood-affected areas remain deprived of safe drinking water, leaving families with no alternative but to drink and use potentially disease-ridden water.”
And today- “— Authorities in Pakistan and Afghanistan said Tuesday that intense unseasonal rainfall, lightning and floods across both neighboring countries had killed at least 100 people over the past several days. A spokesman for the Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority said floods had caused human and material losses in 13 of the country’s 34 provinces.”
They’re losing ground, not recovering. Poor nations lack the resources to even restore services let alone mitigate future effects, and we know that warming will continue, that changes in the climate will impact water supplies worldwide, major metropolitan centers will run out of water, importing bare requirements at great cost.
It going to be different folks, how different only time will tell, but should I be asked when all this will happen, I used to say “Sooner than you think.”
