"Failure to cut carbon emissions means ‘rapid transformation of societies’ is only option to limit impacts"

The UN implies that the only way we'll be able to stop global warming, is if we implement socialism immediatly.

The 1.5°C degree limit is important because once we cross it, a domino-effect of self-reinforcing mechanisms is activated, see:

    Oh, climate fascism was already locked-in before this (IIRC the US military plan for the refugees was to build a wall and kill them since at least 2009). My (far more doomer) hope for China is that they're able to keep some sort of industrialized society intact and functioning, but even then I have doubts.

      I think China will keep their society mostly intact, but the country itself is going to lose a lot of land and people. It will be greatly reduced in size and population as will most countries that manage to hold out.
