Change Gonna

Will climate change kill everyone โ€” or just lots and lots of people?

Bad analysis and lack of systems thinking. Climate change alone has zero existential risk for humanity. However, episodes like climate change lead to wars. Arguably, some wars have already largely been driven by climate change. Wars between major power can lead to nuclear exchanges. Nuclear exchanges then lead to extinction.

Who knows how likely that is? I do not. But I do know the probability with climate change has increased and will increase even more in the future. It is truly an existential risk that this sort of facile, superficial analysis completely ignores.

Systems thinkers are rare. Vox certainly has none of them, mired as they are in centrist delusions of technocratic soteriology.
