I don’t think I agree. Where I stay, we just had a whole month of 47C when ten years ago it used to be around 37C. I’m not saying it will follow the same linear scale but I am saying that there’s only so long humans can survive at these temperatures. For the bulk of the population, surviving at these temperatures means spending electricity which means burning more coal which means accelerating warming.
I don’t see how I myself am going to survive for ten, fifteen years when my country can no longer grow wheat or vegetables, leave alone future kids of mine.
The coming generations will be saying the same thing.
We’re only kind of fucked; our kids are proper fucked; their kids are fucked fucked.
