If you take these projections to their logical conclusion, all you can really do is live for today. Spend time with your loved ones. Hug them and tell them you love them. Sit in the sun. Have that extra piece of cake.
- eloff 6y agoI think you're letting the alarmist journalism alarm you too much. This is still a slow motion train wreck. It won't affect your life much depending on where you live. Your children and your grandchildren might well be less lucky.
- i_haz_rabies 6y agoI'm assuming the median age here is ~30... 40-50-60 years is a long time. We're going to see some shit.
- eloff 6y agoHow much did we see in the last 150 years? Not that much to be honest. It's not linear, but the predictions call for 0.5C - 1C rise over the next 50 years, which is about what we've already experienced. It's not really going to bother us that much, unless you live in very specific vulnerable areas like low-lying flood plains or very low islands. Hundreds of years from now it could snowball into something that causes mass extinction and global famine. Not to mention it would force us to migrate away from all the coastlines where many of our cities are - that's a lot more serious, but we'll all be dead. Unfortunately I think this is a big reason why it's so hard to get governments to take action on climate change.
