Climate change is already making the earth too hot for SOME humans, specifically atoll dwelling people who are being forced to relocate.
It could make the earth too hot for SOME humans, as in it will force the human population to decline, something guaranteed not to be pleasant.
We're a long way away from any prospect of climate change making the earth unable to support the species homo sapiens, and it's a waste of breath talking about it.
- leggomylibro 9y agoYeah, but it might not be too long until earth can't support 7 Billion human beings. I mean, plenty of people are already dying of starvation and dehydration, but you know what I mean. Wasn't that the backstory to Battlefield 2142? Arable land either became desert or ice and everyone went to war over a few breadbaskets?
- natecavanaugh 9y agoSo I might be misunderstanding climate science, but wouldn't the change be a seesaw like change where climates are relocated based on all of the pressures (man-made and local)? So maybe the Bahamas become a frigid zone, but the Amazon becomes a Napa valley and Texas turns into jungle like weather? It just had always seemed odd to me that short of an event that decimates the atmosphere, there wouldn't be a series of controls and counter balances like every other natural system. Again though, I truly could be wrong.
