...........What I worry about is the rapid (last 11 years) Global Warming causing population dislocation from South America northward to the US and Europe. There will be too many unskilled and farm workers to assimilate. Resulting in something like 40% unemployment - creating unsolvable other problems.
You do realize that much of South America is just as far from the equator as much of North America, don't you?
