What do you expect? That earth is some garden of Eden where nothing bad ever happens? Climate Change is going to make things worse, but it always has been a struggle, and always will be. Remember 2004, when a Earthquake and Tsunami killed a quarter of a million people? Spanish Flu? The Plague?
I don't consider that hostile. Mars is hostile. Or Venus.
- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoSo is everything fine until Earth becomes Venus? A decent chunk of the Earth's landmass (where a TON of people currently live) is going to get pretty bad if temperatures rise 3C. At 35C in India - it's believed even healthy young people can die in just 6 hours of exposure. This will happen regularly if temperatures rise 3C. India will be home to maybe 2B in 2050 - when many climate projections say this will happen. I'm optimistic we won't reach 3C of warming by 2050. But it seems within reason that it could happen.

From Wikipedia[1]: > The IPCC states that "a 'runaway greenhouse effect'—analogous to [that of] Venus—appears to have virtually no chance of being induced by anthropogenic activities." > At 35C in India - it's believed even healthy young people can die in just 6 hours of exposure. Yet people somehow still survive in the Sahara at higher temperatures. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_and_icehouse_Earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_and_icehouse_Earth
