We are 100% going to suffer, but I think we can still survive as a species if we act quickly.
If worst case scenario comes to fruition it would be sweet to at least not let those bastards live to 100 and die peacefully in their sleep, on their cozy air conditioned beds.
I am not generally pessimistic, but i think it's just over. We won't do shit.
i think most people will wake up when hunger and extreme heat comes to knock on their door. im not sure if its gonna be too late by then.
i do see the seeds of revolution starting to germinate, that looks like it will come first.
The problem is you can’t get people to organize and work together if everyone is worried about where to get their next meal. Hell, people can barely even do that now; how much more when that time comes.
That's exactly when people come to work together. The French Revolution happened because people were starving.
This is too negative. We are making some progress (mostly despite governments). Kurzgesagt has a great video on this that is both based on fact and somewhat hopeful: https://youtu.be/LxgMdjyw8uw?si=K4oUpRAHbGro18We
