Severely fucked is human extinction?
- generalizations 3y agoMass migration, I think. We'll lose and gain livable land mass, and I don't recall if the net is positive or negative.
- oh_sigh 3y agoI find the fear of mass migration a funny one to be championed by the left(who do the heavy lifting for climate change response, at least in the US), considering their, at best, "meh" reaction to the mass migration that is already happening across the US southern border.
- dhritzkiv 3y agoI don't believe the fear/apprehension is specifically about immigration of peoples, but the likelihood that we'll see intergroup conflicts (fuelled by fear mongering rhetoric that usually follows), as well as the fact that these peoples –who are least poised to handle the challenges of global warming– are being displaced in the first place.
- quickthrower2 3y agoThe left prefer people don’t have to migrate, but that they can seek asylum when they need to
- triceratops 3y agoThere is no contradiction between wanting migrants treated humanely and wanting fewer people forced to become migrants. The more migrants there are, the worse they are treated.
- Podgajski 3y agoWe survived the ice age with a lot less than we have now. I can’t foresee the population staying as high as it is but human extinction won’t happen imo.
- blooalien 3y agoUmmm... During the ice age, did humanity have any literal lunatics in charge of any weapons of mass destruction, capable of wiping out entire cities at the push of a button? Weapons that could alter the state of natural weather systems? Weapons that could unleash diseases or poisons on global scales? Sure, humans have survived nature in the past, but this is humans with really deadly technology this time around. Even if we survive this, what's the stupidity of warmongers with those sorts of weapons gonna do to the world during the ensuing chaos? Will it be a world worth living in anymore, or will we wish we'd died with the rest?
- anigbrowl 3y agoThat's terminally fucked. Severely fucked would (imho) be a complete breakdown of order and anything larger than local infrastructure.
