Based on climate predictions which always seem to be best-case, but end up as worst-case, it seems possible that the hothouse scenario could come to pass within my lifetime. I’m 44 years old. I have young children, ages 1 and 5. It seems entirely possible to me that they could die of non-natural causes related to climate change and specifically the hothouse scenario. The surreal thing is that nobody I know seems to be concerned about this. We live in a conservative neighborhood so anytime I bring up climate change as an issue of concern to any of our neighbors, I get blank stares. They prefer to talk about their pets. I feel like the protagonist in a sci-fi movie, the only one who knows that disaster is just around the corner. Is really possible that I will be present for the end of human civilization? Its not guaranteed but is seems increasingly possible, and up to now I never imagined I’d have to deal with something like this.
