[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - The US just missed the top 5, in part because it's close to 'external' megacities
- Such cities are vulnerable to displacement and could cause a migrant crisis
- It ranked high on its amount of fertile land and manufacturing capabilities
- New Zealand took the top spot, thanks to its temperate climate and isolation
- Other countries in the top 5 include Iceland, Australia, Ireland and the UK
That’s certainly one perspective. The survey may need to readdress the impact of mass migration after seeing how Texas handles things, not to mention the next Republican president. Really, this is all based on “science”, not actual science.
Still, the U.S. would have fallen somewhere just out of the Top 5, the researchers at Anglia Ruskin University in the U.K. told DailyMail.com.
The researchers compiled their Top 5 list of countries that they consider most likely to survive a global climate collapse based on a separate list that had been prepared by the University of Notre Dame.
In Notre Dame's list, it came up with the 20 countries it determined were least likely to be damaged from climate change.
The U.K. researchers used that list to determine their Top 5 to survive a climate collapse.
A collapse would mean the fraying of supply chains and international agreements that help trade among countries. Such a collapse would bring the global financial system to its knees. |
