Important ocean currents that redistribute heat, cold, and precipitation between the tropics and the northernmost parts of the Atlantic region will shut down around the year 2060 if current greenhouse gas emissions persist. This is the conclusion based on new calculations from the University of Cope
If that happens people will die. Lots of people. Europe will lose a significant portion of its ability to grow food in the short- to mid-term. We’re talking four horseman level stuff here. Famine, pestilence, war, death.
I can really recommend reading that article to anyone desperate about feeling of inactive politicians and impending apocalypse.
While climate change will make the world more dangerous there is still hope. I’m quite positive that humanity will find a way to deal with the fallout of the climate crisis although there will be lots of suffering sadly.
If humans can survive in Yakutsk now, then why would the europoors not be able to survive a few nippy decades? Are you saying central Russians are stronger and more resilient than the brtsh?
I have to assume you’re trolling, but for the benefit of everyone else:
It’s not that humans can’t survive at lower temperatures. It’s that humanity cannot support the current European population at such dramatically lower temperatures without a massive overhaul of our farming practices.
You’ll notice that Russian populations are sparse outside of the temperate, fertile areas.

Luckily we will likely reach the CO2 emission peak in the next few years: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/on-climate-change-and-management/

Oh no. An unchecked population being forced to drastically cut back their numbers to balance with what nature can sustain. How awful.
