Is it? I read sometimes the reports based on the models and I’m not sure it’s quite the way people describe it. People in coastal areas? Yes. People in Calgary? I dunno, kinda, there’ll be an impact, but I don’t think it will be quite the “catastrophe” people make it out to be. I mean don’t get me wrong it’ll change things significantly to the downside. Less food available, more flooding / droughts etc. but it is not end of humanity stuff. People say it is but I wonder if they’ve read the reports and even that is all assuming all the “models” are 100% correct, which lets be honest they won’t be.
So it’ll be bad, people will die, but it won’t be the end of humans and society will figure out a way to move on with climate change is my prediction. And that doesn’t mean we don’t try to be more sustainable, it isn’t a political statement or meant to be, and it is a real large problem for sure. But, mainly when it comes to “end of civilization” and other alluding to doomsday “this is the worst thing ever” type rhetoric, I wonder how much people have critically thought about this.
I think the biggest dilemma right now for humanity is having Putin in control of whether or not to start a nuclear war, personally. That one has pretty bad implications, possibly far worse than climate change.
