QnA: Singapore

I am worried about the future of the island nation of Singapore. Will Singapore survive climate change and continue to prosper? So far its citizens are living a good quality of life, hope we can continue. S.

Mostly it depends on which generation you may be referring to. I will look forward about 200 years, and in this, I still see Singapore existing. I do see some significant encroachment of the shorelines, so there will be some loss of land area around the perimeter.

I see two solutions which the people of Singapore will choose to use to respond to the loss of land – building skyscrapers upward, higher into the skies, and building downward and living deeper underground (the equivalent of skyscrapers but into the Earth) – BOTH! While the total surface area above ground will diminish all over the world, there will be changes, and building downward and upward are two solutions. The people bringing the downward lifestyle growth about will make allowances for the fact that sunlight is a health need. And growing food large-scale indoors, which Singapore does already in some ways, will increase. But, living underground will be seen as being a way of harnessing the natural regulating of temperatures below the surface.

Mass numbers of people living underground won’t catch on until near the end of this century. There will be climate struggles worldwide to try for prevention of weather problems – but around the 2080’s, I see entrepreneurs jumping into the “Living Underground” idea. Eventually , by 2200, possibly as much as 40% of the population of Singapore, will be living underground.
