Hey look, that FO stage of FAFO is well underway. Hold onto your butts people, there's going to be some serious self punishment for our generations of polluting the world for personal convenience and money.

It will be felt most by those least responsible.

Very much so. It's completely unjust and we (me included) have been beyond wasteful in spending the Co2 (and other climate altering materials) irresponsibly for far too long.

The poor and low-polluting people of the world are being punished for the actions of the wealthy and highly polluting.

So very true. The vast majority of the climate damage has come from the US, China, and Europe, but more equatorial regions are going to be crushed by the heat for an unknown time. The cost to humanity is likely going to be beyond anything our models have projected.

If they haven't yet, they need to start emigrating north ASAP before the borders start shutting down (and they will).

And the disgusting irony that the ones being punished are the younger generation. I'm GenX. I apologize to my kids profusely for the mess I had a hand in making. It's not getting fixed until it gets a lot worse. I'm scared for the future.
