Yup - like climate change is going to be terrible for a lot of people, and that's going to possibly lead to some very scary politics in reaction.
But, if you currently live in a major Western nation, you're probably going to be fine and there's no reason not to have children or any other extreme reaction. That's not to say we shouldn't have wide-scale investments in renewables, heavy regulation, carbon taxes, etc., but we don't need to ban plane travel or vacations.
Yeah people in third world countries are going to suffer but no worries we in the west can continue to live happy lives, have children and go on vacation? Like I get what you are trying to say here but it's in such bad taste considering how devastating climate change has already been in countries like Pakistan suffering from heatwaves, glacier melts and floods, when as a country they contribute to less than 1% of greenhouse gases. It's like bragging about how the Western world can continue on as usual while the Global south suffers - mainly due to the capitalistic lifestyle of the West. It's the poor people living on a dollar a day who have lost homes and family because of climate change in Pakistan.
Climate change is already here. It's already devastating vast tracts of land and destroying lives. That's the point of this report and the dire warning from the scientists. That there needs to be an urgency in governments ALL over the world globally, to address this. That this needs to be the priority. And many poor countries don't have the money to implement green policies so how does the world address that etc. There's just so much that needs to be done but global governments seem to be more interested at pointing fingers at each other - to win elections and for domestic reasons and geopolitics - while as always the poor continue to suffer.
