Within 80 years, a death toll of 6 billion 930 million all due to climate change and the extreme warming of our planet.
And this is the conservative estimate.
My grandson is 8 years old. Will he live to be 88 ? What will his life be like ? Fuck what will mine be like. I still have a good 30 years left in me.
The 2C degree change is already locked in. We're now talking a 6C degree change by the end of the century.
Extinction seems inevitable.
Do you think other countries will attempt to drastically eliminate those problem countries in order to save those nearly 7 billion lives on the line ?
Would you kill a billion people to save 6 billion ?
Would you kill 3 billion to save 4 billion ?
That's a bottleneck of death I'm not quite ready to even think about and yet it's in our immediate future.
I'm an alarmist when it comes to this stuff. I already know it and accept it within myself.
Maybe when I'm 60 or 70 I'll calm down a bit.
You can't solve the problem by randomly exterminating billions of people. First, something like ten percent of the world's population emits ninety percent of the carbon. So if we exterminate that ten percent, we theoretically solve ninety percent of the problem. But that won't work, because another group of people will fill in the gap left by those who were exterminated and start polluting at that same pace. Mass exterminations of people simply won't buy that much time, if any. And strangely, it's the ten percent who are the biggest offenders who are making the most noise about global warming. I keep trying to talk them into killing themselves, but they just won't do it. They want to exterminate Indian and Chinese people. I guess they are horrible racists.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
