This is what it means to suggest that climate change is an enveloping crisis, one that touches every aspect of the way we live on the planet today. But the world's suffering will be distributed unequally as its profits, with great divergences both between countries and within them. Already-hot countries like India and Pakistan will be hurt the most; within the United States, the costs will be shouldered largely in the South and Midwest, where some regions could lose up to 20 percent of county income.
