Ignoring the obvious solutions I can't post here, Arctic Circle countries would simply have to lock down their borders and let the third world melt alive as their lands become more fertile.

Indeed. If it's all that they drum it up to be, it seems that humans will just have to accept, short of some major technological breakthrough, that much of the world will become unlivable. (And that a heap of wars will probably be fought by people from unlivable areas trying to take areas that remain livable: watch as China desperately seizes Siberia from Russia.)

I don't know about India, but neighbouring Bangladesh is one part of the world that is already believed to be suffering from the alleged effects of climate change. If these effects worsen, watch as a deluge of Bangladeshi climate refugees flood into Burma, China, and India. Another place is the densely populated island of Java, where intense flooding in Indonesia's capital, Jakarta, is often blamed on climate change. Who knows where Indonesian climate refugees will go.

India has already been undergoing desertification slowly so by the time climate change has significantly changed the earth it'll probably be something like the sahara. The tfr has rapidly fallen though so climate refugees may be smaller in number compared to africa or latam. The major issue is stopping that flow really.

watch as China desperately seizes Siberia from Russia.

China's West and Northeast will be livable enough, if they retook Mongolia then they'd be set for a long time without need for Russian territory. They will probably try to take control of at least some of it if/when the current Russian regime collapses
