        It’s gotta affect them quickly enough for it not to just become the new normal. If every year is just a bit hotter than the previous year, then they’ll all just sit around until they can no longer survive, like the proverbial frog in the pot of water.

      Sooner or later, yes. Nobody is immortal.

      Now being serious, it’s possible that a considerable portion of the population will die in climate related catastrophes. Famines, droughts, floods, heatwaves… we’ll see a lot of natural disasters. It’ll be gradual, though. One event here, another there. And it’ll get worse with time. By the end of the century, humanity may be in a delicate situation.

      Yes, but that’s not really the issue. I’m not the least bit afraid of death.

      What I do fear is the unreal, enormous amount of abject suffering coming our way. People fighting and killing each other over scraps or a few drops of water.

      Anyway, I’ll be checking out long before it gets that bad - and it will.
