Elaborate.

Extinction? Probably not. It's not so much climate change itself doing it, but what it will force large groups of humans to do to each other in an only increasingly desperate claim to essential resources. The advances in weaponry and countries with nuclear capabilities will make their use only more likely between some countries. Especially with the current development of smaller scale nuclear missiles in US and Russia are specifically for making their use more likely in practice rather than as an abstract implied symbol of power.

Idk if it will, I kinda doubt it, but the world has shown itself to be pretty fucking shortsighted and completely unprepared for the coming state of the planet, so I guess we'll see what happens. Definitely not gonna be great.

Should I just kill myself then? I don't have the balls to live through such a violent and depressing era. I've been holding out hopes for some scientific or techological breakthrough that could continue to maintain the high quality of life we've enjoyed for the past 50 or so years. I'm really not looking forward to the coming decline of humanity.

Kill yourself? I wouldn't recommend it. If you're in US or something, you'll mostly be okay depending on where you live (a lot of CA, southern coast cities are going to be rough, but you could move), but of course, the interconnectedness of the world is unpredictable. Definitely more refugees from the south as crops don't get near as much rain + conflicts made worse due to this.

Suicide is a serious matter, but one way of looking at it is this is the only life you are certain to have. This is has been the greatest time to be alive in human history, times have always been objectively worse, but people found purpose in life and continued to have families and work toward an uncertain future. The past hundredish years have been a golden age of technological and human advancement, but unfortunately it was never sustainable, especially if more countries began catching up and consuming like the US has.

I recommend living, if only because despite it being bad, we're living through a meteoric rise in human achievement, followed by the greatest challenge modern humans have faced. History is always fascinating in hindsight and uncertain and scary when living through it. You're one of the rare few to live through it all and bear witness. Just a different way of looking at it.

Nice apostrophe, third world retard.
