The PETM wasn’t so bad, and neither was the Cretaceous hothouse Earth. Paleontology gives me the perspective needed to know that we’re not all going to die even in the worst-case scenario.
We may revert back to monke though.
Jokes aside, no way do I want to live through a “worst case scenario” or anything even close to it.
Yeah I’m sure the rich and powerful will be a-ok in their bunkers while the rest of us burn, drown, and fight over the last remaining resources.
Bunkers? Burn? The air will still be breathable and the temperature will still be within the livable range. Global warming is a big problem, but it isn’t going to turn the planet into an uninhabitable wasteland, just as it didn’t during the multiple times in the past when it happened naturally.
Well the increased wildfires will certainly burn you.
We’re already seeing an increase in natural disasters, with various areas experiencing floods, draughts or wildfires that didn’t use to have them.
This alone leads to political conflicts in those areas, but also leads to mass emigrations, ultimately causing the politicalegoistsright in unaffected areas being strengthened, which could at its worst lead to another Nazi uprising, world war etc…I do also think that humanity as a whole will survive (that is, if we don’t obliterate the ecosystems sustaining our lives, like e.g. pollinators). But our current life style of 8 billion people across all areas of Earth may not be sustainable anymore, which does mean the more privileged will be fine, others not.

We are going mad max style
Just the poorest and most vulnerable amongst us, who happens to be contributing the least to the cause.
We are currently in the 6th mass extinction event in the history of the planet Earth. 🙂
Those who study history are doomed to watch it repeated by others.
