    That won’t happen, CO2 and warming has been much, MUCH higher than it is now or probably will ever be.

    What will happen is that loads of animals will die because they won’t be able to adapt quick enough. Thought that we had many extinctions now? Try a hundred times more.

    What will happen is mass crop failures due to extreme weather, and water shortages. Humans being the assholes that the are will not focus on an actual solution, they’ll just start wars over the scarce resources to make it even worse.

    Humanity actually might go extinct if we let it ge tbad enough.

    There are still many people out there claiming it’s all fake. Can we please just make them extinct?

      It begins with wiping out the brainwashed. Theoretically, this should allow democracy to correct the problems, but i suspect the owners will just stop pretending they operate within the bounds of democracy at that point and go all out authoritarian to prevent themselves from being dethroned. Then we wipe them out.
