Do you think this sort of scenario where the concept of borders and nations changes as we move forward into this climate crisis, do you think that's a realistic way to look at things? I think we're going to have to change the way we look at human labor moving across borders. And if you don't like this as a solution, then what is your alternative solution? Because is it going to be increased conflict? One thing that struck me, Gaia, is that your book is a combination of climate science, this and sociology, anthropology, economics, it's a lot in there. But of course, we very much do live in the real world.
In the second episode of Nature hits the books, science writer and broadcaster Gaia Vince joins us to talk about her new book Nomad Century, which looks at how climate change could render large parts of the globe uninhabitable, and how surviving this catastrophe will require a planned migration of people on a scale never seen before in human history.
