More /r/climatechange hysterics
Probably about half the world population before we actually change our behaviors. They'll be brown and poor so the world will not care for a while.
We will hardly register the first billion. But after three maybe we will pay attention
I think the world will quickly discover how much labour of invisible people they depend on. So much manufacturing has moved out of China to parts of India and neighbouring countries. Look up a list of the countries most at risk of extreme heat waves and then look up their major exports an industries.
People aren't just going to quietly let themselves and their families die, they will try to escape and become climate refugees. It will be a refugee crisis like we've never seen. Conflicts will erupt and its effects will cascade across the world economy. We very much should be building infrastructure to accommodate everyone in a sustainable way, but we aren't. Instead, fascist governments will stoak xenophobia and leverage it to solidify power.
People will die in the southwest of the United States- rise in older people and poor people it can rise quickly to thousands
It's already happening it's dystopian times- homeless people pass out on sidewalks wake up with 3rd degree burns- some don't survive- older people die in houses can't afford ac
In Phoenix 14 heat-related deaths since May, with 234 under investigation. As of this time in 2023, the county had recorded 12 heat-related deaths with about 100 under investigation
current metro area population of Phoenix in 2024 is 4,777,000
A BILLION WILL DIE IN A FEW DECADES BUT PEOPLE WONT CARE CAUSE THEY'RE BROWN
By 2050 it might be easier to ask how many will be left.
We are already seeing people dying in rich northern countries. Hundreds of people died in Canada in the heat dome a couple years ago, and billions of sea creatures off the coast of BC where I lived at the time. It's a drop in the bucket compared to the life that will be lost in poorer countries which is incredibly unfair. But it's not something that will happen, it's something that is already happening.
So many concerned leafs on that thread
2084. Lol.
Let's reassess after we get through 2030 shall we. We'll need brand new models to predict the heck to come.

None just build the L1 Sunshade and chill
I always find it funny how in these doomer fantasies the brown people just dutifully lie down and die, they never try emergency geoengineering. I am pretty sure like India and Brazil have sulphur and airplanes
