Nobody knows the future, least of all some "study".

New people will be born, new technology will exist, new goals will be set.

I also think we are moving towards a bad future with no freedom and lots of censorship, with Ai, robots and implants, probably also world government and corruption.

I dont think the weather is going to be our worst problem. Its going to be ourselves.

    Climate is not weather per se. Climate heating and chaos means that drinking water and food are going to become an issue; that's while you're taking in smoke pollution outdoors and sweltering indoors.

    I'm not concerned with AI so much for the simple fact that electric grids, data centers and even chip production aren't going to do well in a hot and chaotic climate.

    Some places have had more and more frequent heatwaves that lead to deaths in each year. And they are getting worse. Some ares in the world are having trouble growing food, dislocating people, and those areas are increasing in size. I can't recall the exact number, but I think by 2050 the US will have a very big problem when it comes to growing food.

    Those estimates cant take into account new technology or developments that will happen during 25 years.

    We will be alright. If we dont die in wars started by our dear so called "leaders".
