There's a book called "I Want A Better Catastrophe", which is about the role of hope in climate activism. (It's a little uneven, but interesting to see the breadth of perspectives from the people he talks to in the climate space). One doomer he speaks to expects us to hit 6 degrees (which is also apparently backed up by one of the IPCC climate scientists he talks to), and describes the scenario this way: * By 2050, we're expecting to hit a global population level of 10 billion * By 2150, the carrying capacity of the planet (given degraded food production capacities, etc, in the 6 degree scenario) will be 2 billion * Imagine what that century would be like to live through 2.5 degrees is obviously a much "less worse" scenario, hence the title of the book. Another book along the same lines is "Ministry of the Future", also quite uneven, but an interesting enough read. I think it's important to be non-avoidant and really contemplate what the higher-degree scenarios would look like, since we're clearly heading in that direction.
