BREAKING : scientists discover weaknesses in ice shelf holding back Antarctica’s 'doomsday' glacier suggesting it could shatter within the next 3 to 5 years— Ben See (@ClimateBen) December 13, 2021
Can someone give me good news? Maybe this is a fake story?
Nah, its just going to get steadily worse for the rest of the century. There'll be dozens or hundreds of mass casualty events, but no definitive "end of the world". It'll be over someday, but not that soon, and not all at once.
It will be a very slow, painful march towards collapse, unless we get a supervolcanic eruption or impact event that block sunlight for several years...in which case it will be a faster, still painful march towards collapse.
Edit: or something as contagious as coronavirus but much more deadly, like in The Stand.
So nobody wrote really books, created art, or developed science in Europe from the fall of Rome until the Renaissance. Reverting to another dark age could postpone our extinction.
