I really don’t see the current Earth governments doing enough soon enough to make any difference. I’m afraid the best case scenario is worldwide mass revolts that literally kill all people in power and the worst case scenario is complete societal collapse due to mass migrations as the environment collapses.

Or some beach houses will be flooded and everyone just moves 100 meters inland.

I’m sure the huge swathes of heavily populated regions on all continents that will be left without potable water and scorching hot temperatures will be content with it and not move to places that are actually habitable?

Being climate change denialist is just utterly dumb at this point.

I don't deny climate change, I deny your prediction of hell on earth.

Killing everyone in power just means new people will be put in power. Whether they will do a better job out of necessity just depends.

Well, if the cycle repeats and enough people die, the entire situation will sort itself out.
