Even moderate CO2 emissions could lead to 7°C of warming by 2200. The model also shows that even if emissions stopped tomorrow, there is around a 1-in-10 chance that the planet could still warm by more than 3°C.

1. Just so we’re in the same page.

   3C is Mad Max. Not totally civilization ending, but not something you want to be around for. The last time this planet was 3C *cooler* was during the peak of the last Ice age when Boston was under a mile of ice. So it’ll be whatever the hell the opposite of that is.

   4C is when we get stuff like the entire middle east, north Africa and southern Europe being uninhabitable. All glaciers melt and oceans rise by tens of meters.

   7C is an extinction level event for the entire biosphere. Some things will survive and endure, but humans sure as hell aren’t on that list.

2. If by 2200 we dont control the weather we don’t really deserve to survive.
