Civilisation? Possibly.
Humanity? Unlikely.
Even in the absolute worst case scenarios, climate change doesn’t wipe out humanity. Life would be very different (and would frankly suck), but some humans would still survive.
The question is how long it takes to get back to our current level (hopefully with lessons learned!)
- h4kor 6y agoYes we are probably not wiped out, but the current trajectory will bring us to a hot earth scenario. This will limited humanity (and most current life) to the pole regions or fully controlled closed environments as everything to close to the equator will be too hot for life. Under these circumstances we will be unable to become as space faring species. The worst part is that the hot earth is a stable system and returning to the our current state will take millennia.
