Proof that this is really just alarmism. Such language is horribly inaccurate and incredibly alarmist.

It's not alarmist- life will be far more difficult, water and food shortages and mass migrations from warmer climate areas northward are expected. We are already seeing this in some areas. We already have difficulty distributing energy for air conditioning, that need will get worse. Many communities will be displaced due to sea level rise as well. Many, many people will die due to shortages, extreme weather events, and temperature extremes. That IS apocalyptic, just not humanity-ending. If republicans think the current immigration crisis is bad, wait until all this shit hits the fan.

Are you not taking you head out of the sand? Look around we are on the brink of total societal collapse or war and climate change is wreaking havoc.

>total societal collapse or war

You could’ve had a point but that language broke it.

Better to break some eggs then not as this point in time I mean if it isn't obvious enough yet the criticism is probably needed
