  • No, it’s not “game over”. It will never be game over. Humans do not have the ability to destroy the planet.

    What we do have is the ability of making it hard for lots of regions to sustain complex biodiversity and human activity. The more and the faster the average global temperature increases, the more people will be displaced and biodiversity lost.

    Nature will always bounce back because nature operates in geological scale. But human civilization will suffer a lot. Vast areas will be progressively destroyed by droughts, floods, fires and encroaching sea, which will continue increasing migration to safer places, causing more and more unrest and war.

    So, yeah. Never game over, just progressively crappier levels.
