I've spoken to clients, colleagues and friends about the future. I foresee lots of "Global Warming Refugees", people displaced because of rising sea levels, lack of fresh water and famine. Wars will be fought over fresh water, food supplies and energy. Coastal areas will be eroded.
The pressure to clear land for agriculture will exacerbates the global warming problem.
I often ask why Singaporeans are so stupid to work so hard all their lives only to aspire for a landed property. Do they not fear that by putting their eggs into one tiny basket they run a high risk of being wiped out ?
Anyway, fools and their money will soon be parted. There are many cities that can withstand global warming. Auckland, Melbourne, London , even New York will probably be around long after Singapore is underwater or wiped out by a famine or thirst to death!
