      The equator has many saving graces built in

      1. rain falls on the equator, and all the worst droughts are projected to be in the Mediterranean/Mideast/American West/Australia. Equatorial lands are projected to stay steady or get more rain.

      2. most equatorial land is high elevation, while most European land is very low. This means there is a hard-ceiling for temperature (look up the record highs in London vs. Bangalore)

      2a) it also means built-in sea level protection

      1. the general climate stability means humans have to do less to cope. Even if some parts of Canada will get better, there's no telling which parts and exactly when, and how much better--meanwhile a place like Kenya is basically just going to have a mild decline or even a mild benefit from increase in rainfall

      Sea level equatorial land like Gujarat, Bengal,
