"I've only ever heard the claim that climate change is civilization ending as a strawman from so-called climate skeptics. " And yet, sentence from current top comment: " We're in a mass extinction." | ||

We are in a mass extinction. It is not civilization ending. Can you explain why you think these contradict each other? | ||

Mass extinction is not necessarily civilization ending. Half of all living species could die, 80% of all humans could die, and civilization would find a way to move on. It would still be an absolutely major catastrophic event. At the rate that temperature is increasing, assuming it is not stopped, it's not a matter of will there be an extinction event within the next few hundred years, but how bad will it be. | ||
