New Report Suggests ‘High Likelihood of Human Civilization Coming to an End’ in 2050

crimsonaudio · Jun 3, 2019

The scenario warns that our current trajectory will likely lock in at least 3 degrees Celsius (C) of global heating, which in turn could trigger further amplifying feedbacks unleashing further warming. This would drive the accelerating collapse of key ecosystems “including coral reef systems, the Amazon rainforest and in the Arctic.”

The results would be devastating. Some one billion people would be forced to attempt to relocate from unlivable conditions, and two billion would face scarcity of water supplies. Agriculture would collapse in the sub-tropics, and food production would suffer dramatically worldwide. The internal cohesion of nation-states like the US and China would unravel.

“Even for 2°C of warming, more than a billion people may need to be relocated and in high-end scenarios, the scale of destruction is beyond our capacity to model with a high likelihood of human civilization coming to an end,” the report notes.

I remember some theory in 4th grade in which scientists said the sun would consume the Earth by 2006. I must’ve slept through that event.

Seems extreme to me but so does denialism that is rooted in their prevailing political ideology having no way to cope with it.

i don't think that was anything that was based on actual science.

Even if it's a leaner instead of a ringer, it's not good...

We will probably get hit by a giant meteor well before 2050.

We need a big volcano to cool things down.
