Lower down the doom-splaining, please.
Doomerism is dangerous because makes people believe there's nothing we can do or that we can only take extreme measures or, even worse, that we all are personally responsible.
It is completely false and the only thing this attitude is good for is scare kids on tik tok and get views.
No, there are only people taking the worse estimates and using them to support the doom hypothesis.
That's why we call them doomsters.
They are the same people that in the past supported the idea that the World would end on the year 1,000. It was a tiny minority of doomsters, largely over represented in legends and myths. The majority of people did not believe that, just like today only few small groups believe it will actually happen this time.
No scientist has ever claimed that we are facing an existential crisis that could end up with the extinction of the human race.
with no guarantees that it would solve anything?
> This will be a humanitarian catastrophe larger than any war humanity has ever faced by orders of magnitude.
We have literally survived a shrink of 99% of our total population as humans, you are grossly overestimating the effects of what's currently happening.
There's and easier way
In the US, dogs and cats consume about 19% ± 2% of the amount of dietary energy that humans do (203 ± 15 PJ yr-1 vs. 1051 ± 9 PJ yr-1) and 33% ± 9% of the animal-derived energy (67 ± 17 PJ yr-1 vs. 206 ± 2 PJ yr-1). They produce about 30% ± 13%, by mass, as much feces as Americans
Wetlands are responsible for a third of all the greenhouse gases emitted in the atmosphere, followed by agriculture and livestock (in general) at 25%.
It's absolutely not given that removing beef from our diet would make things much better.
Also considering the fact that billions of people have just entered the club of those who can afford eating red meat and won't stop now.
The most likely scenario is that we will slowly switch to other sources of proteins and they will replace us as meat eaters, basically making no change whatsoever in the output.
The Ancient Egyptian Kingdom covered the north eastern section of the Sahara Desert, one of the driest hottest places in the world.
Summers were hot and long, and the average temperature in June, July and August was 35 degrees. Winters were short and warm and their was little rainfall.
The summer, also known as Shemu, lasted from May to September. This was the period when the level of the Nile was low.
The temperature during Shemu ranged between 86 degrees Fahrenheit and 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The north recorded high temperatures swelling to 122 degrees Fahrenheit during the daytime. The nighttime experienced a massive temperature change. It dropped to around 39.2 degrees Fahrenheit.
It is basic knowledge we learn in primary school.
You are also wrongly assuming that there will be areas where the temperature will rise to unsustainable bulb temperatures, but what's happening is that the change in temperatures is driving cold winds where there were none before.
Also, to close the argument, even CDC says that cold is the real killer
CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics Compressed Mortality Database, which is based on death certificates, indicates that twice as many people die of “excessive cold” conditions in a given year than of “excessive heat.” According to a 2014 study by the CDC, approximately 1,300 deaths per year from 2006 to 2010 were coded as resulting from extreme cold exposure, and 670 deaths per year from extreme heat
We are talking about few hubdreds a year, nothing so catastrophic that will eventually wipe out entire civilizations.
