Modern Egypt?
That climate change is going to be even more brutal there than in many other locations around the world.
Here’s a map of the country:
The squiggly line running through the eastern third of the country is the Nile River.
The overwhelming majority of Egyptians live within 50–100 miles of its banks. It’s major provider of fresh water for those people and the population of Egypt continues to grow thus necessitating more water. Unfortunately the Nile is shared by four other nations along its route and their populations are growing as well.
Egypt is poor and overpopulated meaning that it has mouths to feed but limited resources to do so. It’s going to have to make some very hard decisions SOON that it really needed to make 50–75 YEARS ago and it may be too late for most of those decisions to bear positive results for the country. Worse than that instead of electing and supporting competent governments, the nation has been run by a series of dictators and autocrats during most of its modern history
What’s “horrible” is that that hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Egyptians are going to die simply because they were unlucky enough to be born in the wrong place at the wrong time.
What’s even worse than that is that there’s very little that can be done to prevent that reality and that not many seem to be interested in doing that very little.
