I see a lot of dead people and violence.

Loss of glaciers in Himalaya ... 500 mil people on the move

Tropic & wet bulb or 50+C temperatures ... 2 mld. people on the move

Deforestations & droughts ... mass migrations, almost everybody affected

Large scale crop failures (temperatures, droughts, polinators ...) ... famines, wars

Biodiversity loses (it's critical) ... famines, huge loses for future ppl

Thermohaline circulation slow/shutdown ... cooling of northern countries, agricultural loses, extreme events

Loss of ice cover (Arctic, Greenland, Antarctic) ... rising oceans for several meters, major cities underwater

Cascading tipping points ... who knows

I'm starting to believe the sooner the system collapses, the better for the future of humanity.
