The next years are going to be fun… The world is burning while the fossil fuel industry is chugging along like everything is great as long as you buy enough co2 credits.
I’m scared in what kind of world my children will have to live in…

Earth may persist as a dead rock floating though space, but I’d argue that doesn’t come close to ‘fine’.
Kinda like saying if you get lost in the desert you’ll be fine: sure your organs will fail, your muscles will turn to jerky, and you’ll be very much dead: but your skeleton will remain for decades!! 🎉
Life is what makes Earth special, and we’re on track to reducing life to extremiphiles. Hell, even those could be at risk - the problem with climate change is positive feedback loops, and who knows how far those will push. Even the most resilient of microbastards won’t do too great when Earth is molten.
Extreme-case scenario, but whether that’s what happens or we get some kind of miracle climate shift and Earth lives happily ever after, or anywhere in between, is roll of the dice.
