If the heat doesn’t kill people, famine, floods, fires and wars likely will.

It might not be the apocalypse, but further rises in temperature could easily topple civilisation as we know it?

Paired with social uprising, drought, and mass immigration.

We should learn the lessons of what history says about this period. It took 300 years for them to recover...
