You could say the same thing if we nuked the majority of arable farmland and water resources. It wasn't nuclear weapons that caused conflict, it was the people who started fighting over the few resources left.

If you want to be reductionist, it's not even fighting and humans. It's really physics causing all this, and *that's been the norm for eternity.

People aren't going to have to lie down and die. IF global warming is happening there will be more food producing areas available then there were before. I guess they might have to lie down and die if they don't adapt and change or just wait for somebody else to come and save them. Those people you don't have to worry about rising up and fighting you for something, they expect somebody else to do that for them as well.
