Humanity will die off and thats good - looking at the world we built, we deserve it.
I fell thankful for being here to witness final moments of mankind. Its goong to be a fun ride.
Even the IPCC, the biggest authority on climate change says that temperatures might increase 2C in the next 50 years, reducing the GROWTH in GDP in the world by 6% (NOT actual GDP). This might have some bad consequences, but it's a far cry from the doomsday scenario of humanity dying within 12 years that people like AOC have talked about.
(btw, global temperatures rose about 2C in the last 50 years. We survived. In fact humanity is doing fairly well on most metrics)
Sure, but almost every other species on this planet with is is not doing that great. And even though we think we're so smart, a collapse in population of any species might have more impact on us than we now think.
“Life on Earth can recover from a drastic climate shift by evolving into new species and creating new ecosystems,” it says. “Humans cannot.”
Seems odd. Humans live or can live anywhere on Earth, but we're uniquely incapable of handling new ecosystems?
I'd like to see the new report.
With survival I mean not survival of everyone of course.
