So, what does this all mean for us? It means we have even less time to get our act together. Reducing emissions isn’t just a good idea — it’s crucial.
Our planet’s systems are interconnected in ways we’re only beginning to understand. If we want to keep things from getting worse, we need to act now. Every little bit counts, and the clock is ticking.
I agree that it’s going to take popular action to prevent the capitalists from continuing as usual, whatever form this action takes. But it’s not going to happen until we’re organized and prepared to risk our own safety for the greater good.
We’re likely to see a lot of suffering and disruption along with increased mortality, but humans are way too resourceful to go extinct, even with a severe disruption to the climate
Maybe, depends on how uninhabitable the planet actually gets. We think we know what that looks like, but there are pretty wide error bars around the worst case scenarios.
Hmm, even if parts of the world become totally uninhabitable, this would also mean that other parts of the world will become more inhabitable. Usually arctic areas further away from the equator.
So yes there would be a lot of death and suffering but I don’t think we’d go 100% extinct.
There’s no climate scenario short of nuclear winter that renders the planet completely uninhabitable by humans though. We’re not facing a situation like The Road where the sunlight is completely blocked, killing every plant. Even with the worst case climate change scenarios, people are going to be able to find habitable areas and move plants to new regions where they will grow, or utilize technology to grow crops indoors, which already happens
The word “uninhabitable” usually means whether humans can live there, and I specified I was talking about humans. The earth is not going to become completely uninhabitable by humans. I’m saying you’re wrong when you said “this is the last generation of humans on earth.”
In other words…we’re fucked.
Well, yeah.
You were expecting maybe all of the countries of the world to absolve their differences and join hands to defeat the problems of climate change?
Sounds kinda like a fairy tale.
Yes, we are likely seeing the last generation of humans on earth.
We might be able to mitigate some of the effects of we start removing the actual problems people…granted the solution isn’t exact ‘legal’

It doesn’t have to be completely uninhabitable for it to be uninhabitable for humans.
