I know, I avoid the place, but sometimes just find myself in there witnessing the same arguments going round in circles.Good God, the politics forum is even worse than I remember.
Cataclysmic change is very rare and we’ve adapted to every challenge as a species. Eventually global warming would do for us and most things but there’s time, just, to change and adapt to that. Something like bees becoming extinct would fuck us up a treat but still probably wouldn’t do for us all. Will need an unfortunate series of events like a more lethal pandemic, magnetic shift f***ing technology, reduction in fertility and a massive meteor strike or similar to happen in a short time period.I'd probably say we are a quite fragile species biology wise,, we might have the brains to develop tech but I'd say any sort of cataclysmic change to the environment would see us wiped out.

Not 45 years. 4 or 5 years.It is not unreasonable to think that c19 could could still mutate and become like Ebola. Also who's 2 say Putin or Trump 2024 will not devastate the planet.
So I'm going 4 5 years.
Large portions of countries/continents already difficult to live in are on track to become unliveable in in the not-too distant future. We are already on track to have a massive problem feeding the world without climate change due to unsustainable population growth. Large areas of low-lying land such as Mexico City on the cards to be underwater. Mass extinction of species of flora and fauna due to changes in climate, only need one species to go kaput for a domino effect. How do you house, feed etc. everyone in worse conditions than we have now (conditions that currently result in large portions of the world starving to death or on the absolute breadline). Might not kill everyone but could easily kill the majority seeing as the majority live in countries in already difficult-to-live climates. This is all ignoring possible wars cropping up over limited supplies of water, food etc. Wars that could easily become nuclear under extreme desperation.How will climate change kill off mankind?
I see the climate change thing as similar to Covid, they're basing it on modelling etc and don't really have any definitive idea to what will actually happen and have got things wrong, one pole is melting faster than they thought the other has grown.Depends on the severity I suppose. Some will survive.
How will climate change kill off mankind?
Let's say honey bees go extinct, a very real possibility at this point, everything pollinated by them goes effectively extinct as well as the animals that live off said produce. Can you not see the possible knock on effects?It could possibly kill quite a bit of the population but to make mankind extinct, I'd like you to explain if you don't mind.
Gingers will be the first to go, I know several that can't even go out on a warm spring day now never mind when the temperature rises 35 degrees.
On the theme of the what will kill off mankind, what’s your prediction?
I’d give us 200 years tops before one of the known issues I.e climate change, or some freak accident, does for the human race
Humans can pollinate, I didn't realise till a neighbour told me he had pollinated his tomato plants.Let's say honey bees go extinct, a very real possibility at this point, everything pollinated by them goes effectively extinct as well as the animals that live off said produce. Can you not see the possible knock on effects?
Just one example.
Any increase is awful for the planet. A 3 degree increase doesn't sound like much but would be ecologically cataclysmic.I don't want to disappoint you but since 1880 the average temperature has gone from 13.73 degrees to 14.51, gingers are quite safe for the foreseeable future.
I love the video on this web page, we're melting, we're melting.
