It really is not. I get that people want to be optimistic and hopeful, but this isn't the century for that. We're going to see hundreds of millions dead in the next fifty years from global warming and the resulting breakdown of society. And then for the next 2,000 years, minimum, huge parts of the earth are going to be uninhabitable by humans.
Buddy do you even IPCC reports? We know exactly what's going to happen. A huge band of the earth near the equator is going to be too hot for humans to survive and too hot to sustain agriculture. Hundreds of millions of people live in that band. They're all going to have to flee or die. Hundreds of millions of refugees will lead to a snowball collapse of nations all across the globe. Most countries will already be dealing with food stress due to global warming altering climates and rendering large areas unsuitable for agriculture when they get slammed with millions and millions of refugees. It's going to cause a breakdown of civilization on a planetary scale. There is no precedent for this in human history. Nothing like this has ever happened before. it's going to be a century of horror undreamt of.
Oh and this is without mentioning ocean acidification rendering the oceans unable to support life, or the massive die off of biodiversity in the course of the sixth great extinction. And this is just the stuff we can predict. Throw in a nuclear war, or a couple of pandemics, or the collapse of the rubber industry, or or or or or or. It's all bad. Nothing good is coming. There are no solutions anymore. This is what is going to happen because climate change is irreversible at this point, and there's no reason to believe greenhouse gas emissions will be stopped or even meaningfully curtailed at any point in the near future.
I get it, ignorance is bliss. But if you don't want to deal with reality keep it to yourself.

This is just doomerism. You can't possibly predict what's going to happen over the next 5, let alone 50 years.
