‘Average’ does a lot of heavy lifting here. Let’s get this straight: you and I would live in squalor, if we would live at all. The 1% would have become the 0.01%, living in splendid wealth in the few remaining habitable places on the globe.
This is why climate justice is so important.
Average voter: “I know who to blame for this! It’s the immigrants who are at fault!”
Rich people: yes, yes, fuel that hatred! Don’t look here!
40% poorer?
The ice age was caused by a difference of about 6 degrees C.
If the world is warmed by 4C, we’d be close to mass humans dying
Humans are dying NOW. Heat related deaths are soaring, equatorial regions are close to uninhabitable already. Anyone who can read graphs and plot trajectories can see this is ending badly. The most common phrase from climate scientists lately is “It is happening much faster than expected”.
Look at me, ahead of the curve.
