Who said hundreds of millions? All I said was that the habitable range would be much more likely to expand with warming than to contract. That doesn't require that we shove a huge number of people into the edge of the new habitable range.

That has nothing to do with climate change and everything to do with how dysfunctional and corrupt our political systems are. The way to fix that is to fix our political systems, not to wring our hands about climate change.
I think you don’t comprehend what is written. You are stuck on a narrative and go with it regardless of what is written. An example of this.
Clearly I brought supply chain issues as a way of demonstrating fragility in the global system. It was obviously used as an example to demonstrate that it doesn’t take much disruption to cause shocks to the system. The obvious reason for mentioning this is to show that it is quite plausible for climate change to cause major disruptions in how societies work. Your response is: This has nothing to do with climate change…. You failed to understand the clearly made point.
Another example. You mention that throughout human history migrations have happened and humans built societies where they migrated. I point out that the scale that this would have to be done under scenarios envisioned being a consequence or global warming is unprecedented. There 8 billion people now and mass migrations on the scale that would be needed have never happened before. Also, very few people actually grow food these days and so mass migrations would need massive amounts of new infrastructure in conditions that are not conducive to building said infrastructure. Your response to this is a non sequitor.
You haven’t thought through the implications and clearly you don’t have the slightest idea of what you are talking about.
I comprehend what you have written just fine. I just recognize, as apparently you don't, that you are responding to a straw man, and failing to respond to the actual points I have made.

I think the same about you, so it seems unlikely that further discussion will be fruitful.
