I don’t believe we’ll stop rising global temperatures. I think the majority of humanity can’t and won’t give a shit. The minority (us) have been screaming out loud about the dangers of human-induced climate change, with a watered-down climate bill that passed amid significant but those in power don’t take it seriously.

I expect large sea level rises. Large parts of the world will become uninhabitable and the population will collapse.

Just look at the United States. We ended up with a watered-down climate bill that passed amid significant infighting. The world got the Paris Accord. While both are steps in the right direction, I argue that it’s a little too late. We should’ve been fixing this years ago, but there’s no desire to do anything because the 1% continue to get rich.

Currently, the target is a 2 °C increase in global temperatures, but we’re on track to exceed that.

Even with a 2 °C target, we’ll still see massive upheaval in our ecosystems.

Why the target isn’t set at a 0 °C increase is beyond me.
