There is a scenario. The climate has been buffering global warming, and as its ability to do that fails, the rate of temperature increase accelerates along with many extreme climate events. This rapid acceleration and series of catastrophes causes a combination of mass migrations along with unprecedented crop failures. First world countries are destabilized by sky high food prices and the mass influx of migrants, leading to a big uptick in wars and revolutions. Eventually mass starvation pushes us into wars for food that quickly spiral into mutual annihilation.

I always hear all this. Russia has thr biggest surface in the world for a country. A big part of it is frozen... Is that... bad? To give just an example and from my extremely limited knowledge on the topic.
But it is a topic that is extremely biased towards some interests anyways

I don’t think they are arguing that this can’t happen, but that it is unlikely to kill every single human. I mean climate spans very very long time frames, so certainly if we can’t find a way to hang on by a thread and keep reproducing, it will spell the end.
