It doesn't have to cause extinction to cause huge amounts of suffering for human beings or even collapse civilization as we know it.
- marcusverus 6y agoClimate change could certainly cause large scale suffering, but how could any of the likely scenarios possibly cause civilizational collapse?
- scsilver 6y agoI would assume that civilization doesnt collapse like a building, it collapses like an ecosystem, slowly components of that civ don't have the resources to exists, services go unrendered,people stop living in that area, pressure builds on less affected areas. Costs rise, gentrification pushes low income people into bad parts of town, that compound and get worse.
