I think everyone who lives on Earth has a horse in the race, and those with children probably have more (though I suppose some regions may actually become more attractive to live in, they might also attract a lot of competition to live in them). I've lived in South Texas my whole life so we never really had winter, but summers used to be merely uncomfortable, and now they have become dangerous - I saw more dead animals and trees last summer than ever in my life. I'd say I've pretty much become a doomer and accepted what is to come, but that may be easier said than done.

> I'd say I've pretty much become a doomer and accepted what is to come I've stopped fearing what can be seen coming. Prepare, and (where possible) do what you can to steer towards solutions. But I do fear the unpredictable. Black swan events, passing some tipping point(s) that wasn't even on scientists' radar, 2nd/3rd order effects from weather extremes, (worldwide) mass crop failures, resource conflicts, mass migration, etc. Or for good measure: another pandemic, supervolcano eruption, nuclear weapon exchange or km-sized asteroid hitting us. Just to name a few.. Never mind the combination of those.
