Where do you realistically expect the world to be in terms of meeting the 2050 climate goals?

Liam Mayfair@lemmy.sdf.org to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 137 points –

With evidence mounting on the failure to limit global warming to 1.5C, do you think global carbon emissions will be low enough by 2050 to at least avoid the most catastrophic climate change doomsday scenarios forecast by the turn of the century?

I am somewhat hopeful most developed countries will get there but I wonder if developing countries will have the ability and inclination to buy into it as well.

I don't think we'll be dead, but I do think the world is gonna look pretty different. Like I don't think humanity is gonna go extinct within my lifetime, but shit's gonna get bad.

Although I suppose there's decent odds that I as an individual will be dead by 2050 lol.

Humanity wont go extinct, but it will definitely see a dieoff that will make the last 100 years of war and plague look small in comparison.
