    Western civilization might collapse, but at the same time, countries in the global south are going to prosper as imperialism collapses.

      Not if climate change makes these countries unlivable due to extreme weather. Projections for that are incredibly grim going forward. We’ve already seen temperatures reach over 50c in India in the past couple of years. There was one incident when all the livestock died due to heat and there were huge crop losses due to droughts. Humans are also vulnerable to prolonged heat. Once you heat wet bulb temperatures the body can’t cool down through sweating and you die. This actually happened in Canada just recently where 800 people died from extreme heat in BC.
