How come we never consider the climate catastrophe as a variable for any of these studies?
If some of the forecasts are correct, we will hit a 5'C increase in overall global temperatures. the mass famines, dieoffs due to logistics breakdown, water scarcity, insane human migrations, wars over scarce resources etc. will be far bigger factor making most of these variables look like non factors.

I think it will be lucky if even half/4B of humans survive 2100
- pluto9 6y agoBecause those forecasts are outliers, if you can even call them forecasts. Is this quote from your linked article what you're referring to? "Despite a temporary drop in carbon emissions from the 2020 outbreak, countries turned to cheap fossil fuels to revive their economies after the crisis. Carbon emissions soared and temperatures followed, setting the stage for 5 °C of warming by the end of the century." That's not a forecast, that's speculation. Might as well factor in WWIII while we're at it.
