Sorry about the link to Reddit but it's interesting to see some of the mask off now going on with climate change and also the reaction to it by redditors (especially on collapse which can flip back and forth between good to completely trash takes).

    Given uncertainty around feedback loops and tipping points like arctic methane / clathrates, deforestation, and ecosystem collapse, it's not really possible to accurately say exactly how bad it could get, but 3.5 alone is already pretty catastrophic in terms of moving large densely inhabited areas of the planet, particularly South Asia and the tropics, in the direction of being close to if not completely uninhabitable, with migration crises likely on the order of at least hundreds of millions of people.
