It is a foregone conclusion. Countries should take steps to mitigate what happens to them. For instance the U.S. should prevent Saudi companies from exploiting water resources in the U.S. And we should build a wall to prevent mass migrations northward as Central America dries up.

Some regions will probably become dryer (just as some regions will probably become colder), but I doubt you've have a rational basis for a belief that Central America in particular is likely to be one of the regions that will become dryer.

From NASA: Increased evaporation will result in more frequent and intense storms, but will also contribute to drying over some land areas.
Don't know if Central America in particular will dry out in the long term. Was just using it as an example of the types of migrations that will come from global warming. Please try to understand the overall point and not pedantically nitpick.

Is your belief rationally based?

Mass migrations can be handled by destroying all the layers of laws that NIMByYs use.
The solution is more trade, more cooperation, not isolation.

New Mexico can’t build desalination plants. Probably a good idea to not allow water intensive crops to be grown there that are exported.

It’s rational for a country to not have open borders and allow anyone to just come. It’s also rational to not allow more people to come in than what the citizens are comfortable with. It’s going to be much more Darwinian in the future.
India, for instance, isn’t going to be able account 200 million climate refugees from Bangladesh.
