I’ve looked at some tentative projections, and it’s downright apocalyptic.
At our current “business as usual” path, we should be expecting wholesale collapse of countries by 2035 or shortly thereafter, with +4℃ temps causing agriculture destruction that leads to a 60-80% drop in human populations by 2050.
And when people are desperate to live another day, they will absolutely tear apart any infrastructure they can get their hands on in order to survive. We’re talking about reverting to the Iron Age or even the Stone Age.
And when almost 100% of all resources required for building or even maintaining high tech civ are no longer accessible without high tech civ… there is no coming back from this collapse.
