Edit: We survived an ice age and we’re very highly adaptable. Plus, we will hold on to some percentage of technical knowledge that will help us adapt faster.

    Yeah, maybe you should look a little harder?

    Wait until crops start dying en masse due to higher temperatures, too many bad insects, too few good insects, no more water.

    Wait until you get your 50 degree celcius Summers, which apparently already started in select countries this year.

    Wait until forest fires become so big that they simply can’t be controlled anymore and start burning down entire cities

    Wait until drinkable water runs out due to us emptying all aquefiers, wells, etc.

    Wait until water, food, etc scarcity due to climate change starts the bigger wars over the scraps that are left

    You won’t have to wait long, we’re working hard on making these features a reality soon.

    I’m not sure what will kill the most people, but I pity those that survive

      I’m looking for factual peer reviewed research. Do you have a source such as a academic paper or journal?

      I haven’t seen anything to suggest that billions will die. That seems very far fetched to me.
