Our chances of surviving are almost non existent with current capitalism, probably 90% of life on Earth will die. If these bastards start a war there’s going to be nuclear warfare, that would be a death sentence to us. I’m depressed.

    So much pessimism in the comments and in the original post. There’s no reason to think this way seeing as how two climate reports by scientists on this website imply that the average temperature is actually decreasing, more than likely a result of China’s climate policy already bearing fruit, while Western media continues to report that it is increasing. Perhaps you are reading too much of the latter?

    While climate change is definitely real, there is a vested interest on the part of Western countries to make China’s climate change policy appear terrible.

        This was the second climate change report that was posted on this site. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/26619

        Sadly it seems the earlier article providing far worse projections went missing, it had all of China being uninhabitable.

        In any case, when you cut out the media middle man and take your data direct from the scientists, you have a clearer picture of climate science.

          Maybe this is the image you’re referring to.

          Could you point me to some articles that say that shit won’t be that harsh?

            That’s the one I was looking for, so thanks.

            The one I posted earlier was in fact the report I was referring to as the report that projected better outcomes.

              Well, to be fair the one you posted before only takes into account the temperature, whereas this also shows floods.

                Decreased temperatures mean less dilated oceans, which translates to less flooding, so that should be implied in the report.
