Fake Homelands
Since no effective action will be taken to mitigate the consequences of climate breakdown, at least where the little people are concerned, it remains only to consider how to manage the trauma of lost land. Nations such as Tuvalu have comparatively small populations, so there is little risk that space will be lacking for the requisite internment camps; but what about the real estate? Despite the best efforts of our global corporate citizens, the happy prospect of reducing all tropical landscapes to profitable savannah remains an impractical Utopia, as a significant amount of rentable assets will unavoidably be lost to the rising seas. Fortunately, it seems that some far-sighted persons are contemplating digital substitutes, which can be copyrighted by those same global corporate citizens for the benefit of humanity as a whole.
