re: #128 Interesting Times

Do you agree with the relatively optimistic scenario Freetoken presents here? I thought a repeat of Permian was a more likely possibility than that.

NO I do not agree with him.

Ever so slowly is is a very relative term. Since the 50’s phytoplankton is down in concentration by over 50% for example.

To answer him directly, here is your most plausible near term extinction scenario.

Coasts flood, displacing millions as breadbaskets simultaneously turn to dust bowls. Disease vectors spread to new populations killing people and surviving crops alike. Fresh water supplies dry up in regions that depend on melt water creating even more desperate, malnourished refugees…

People start killing each other over what is left.

Nukes get used.

The end.
