New doomsday post. Climate scientist says 2/3rds of the Global Population is going to die because of Climate Change Some doomers chud out about the prospects of climate "refugees"

!ifrickinglovescience !physics

I think this time they're surpassing themselves. I've never seen this level of hyperbole from climate change experts and presumed it was just the journos, but she actually said that

She said about two thirds of the 8.2billion people who live on this planet are under an effective "death sentence" as natural disasters will continue to grow more deadly in the years to come unless human behaviors change. "The point is that climate change is happening to everyone and in every region of the world," she said.

She's the head of an environmental consulting firm from Washington DC, it says she's a marine scientist and climate expert.

Anyway, let's check /r/climatechange hysterics

If even 10% of the world is under a death sentence, that is enough to bring war and strife to 100% of the world. People are not going to stay put and just roll over and die lol.

You think illegal immigration is bad now. Shit is going to hit the fan. Look at the maps for worst hit areas: West Africa, India, parts of South Asia and Middle East. Best areas not only in terms of climate but also wealth and preparedness are all the developed 1st world areas.

What does that mean? Are we going to have to be at a low level defensive warfare just to keep people out?

Will it be like World War Z? Probably not, but trends aren't looking good for internal conflict within countries like UK, France, etc.

Immigration is natural. The fact that it's "illegal" is an artificial governmental administration problem.

Oh I agree it's natural. That doesn't mean it's always good. Cancer is natural too.

Yikes, so much xenophobia

Also, RIP @kaamrev

It's crazy conservative.

Way more than 2/3rds.

I hope she an alarmist, because it sounds scary.

If you're new to this and not just being sarcastic; her message is a common refrain from many, many scientists. What nobody can tell you definitively is when this will happen. Therefore, no one is willing to blow up their present for an uncertain future thereby ensuring the worst possible version of the future will happen.

I think most scientists definitely wouldn't go as far as saying "two-thirds of the world are under a death sentence". There's a lot of room between that and "everyone will be fine", and most scientists I think are somewhere between that.

I would have agreed with you until recently where things are starting to unravel a "tad" faster than expected. The models that indicated we weren't going to extinct ourselves are being found to have been too conservative. Scientists are pretty baffled about the alarmingly warm oceans. So, some are starting to sound a more urgent alarm. Not sure that it matters though. We can't help ourselves from waiting until we're.forced to act. There will be some dark days ahead.

It's beyond scary. Anyone alive who doesn't think climate change is the most serious and destructive threat facing the human species is delusional. The earth will endure and will begin to heal after mankind has died and is gone. We are barreling to extinction.

Are they serious? Even the most doomerist climate models don't talk about 5.5 billion people dying, not even close. Lmao, is not even /r/collapse-lite anymore is just full /r/collapse.

I would say it's more like 9/10th. The political strife and food shortages are going to rock the entire world, even relatively climate resilient places will suffer badly because of the disruptions everywhere else.

The trouble with global supply chains is that they break pretty easily.

Dramatards, what's your plan to survive the climate apocalypse?
