>>1019862The other thing is though, the timescales on which climate change is projected to occur means even if we carried on as before it would take centuries before the Earth was actually uninhabitable.
Technological progress would not stop during that period. It would continue. Perhaps slowing somewhat due to logistical difficulties and political turmoil caused by crop failures and resource wars, but 500+/- years is plenty of time.
By then, we will have technology that allows us to survive anywhere. We're talking about colonizing Mars today. If we can live on Mars, a totally ruined planet, why couldn't we colonize a ruined Earth?
There would be no pressure differential to deal with. No dangerous radiation levels. We just seal existing buildings and install air scrubbers.
This is assuming we stay purely biological. If most people upload themselves, then the condition of the Earth's ecosystem becomes irrelevant. Machines can live anywhere.
Environmentalists who are bullish about climate change justifying some sort of global wealth redistribution don't like to hear this. Just like climate deniers don't like to hear this
>>1019857Climate change, even in the most extreme projections, is not a real existential threat to humanity. What deniers should be concerned about is how it will drive massive amounts of immigrants from the third world into first world countries.
Many of them rely on stable, predictable seasonal temperatures to subsistence farm. When that fucks up and they can't feed themselves, they will get hungry and desperate.
/Pol/'s solution is to kill them all because they got beat up by a black kid they called nigger in gradeschool and instead of maturing to the point that they understand they brought it on themselves, they built an elaborate revenge fantasy-centric worldview.
Most people are not murderous psychopaths however, so those refugees will be allowed in. Don't want that? Find a way to slow or reverse climate change.
