    We’re so fucked. Could we maybe not have world war three at the same time as climate induced system collapse? Is that too much to ask for?

      Gonna be a rough time. Maybe we will have it all at once and wipe out 3/4 of the worlds population and maybe the planet will recovery a few generations later.

      But that would be a stretch of a silver lining.

        Global CO2 production dropped dramatically for years after WW2. It doesn’t even take eliminating a significant fraction of the population to drastically improve our emissions, all it takes is a large economic impact. Less global prosperity = less CO2.

        So hey, maybe this is great for the planet… (But still really bad for the human race)
