No way to know the effects of this. Models are very imperfect.


Likely it will be bad for many. Also might be awesome. Ocean acidification not a good thing. Fuck.

Someone tell me how this might turn out alright for everyone?

>No way to know the effects of this.
>Biological annihilation via the ongoing sixth mass extinction signaled by vertebrate population losses and declines
>we show the extremely high degree of population decay in vertebrates, even in common “species of low concern.”
>This suggests that, even if there was not ample sign that the crisis extends far beyond that group of animals, today’s planetary defaunation of vertebrates will itself promote cascading catastrophic effects on ecosystems, worsening the annihilation of nature. Thus, while the biosphere is undergoing mass species extinction, it is also being ravaged by a much more serious and rapid wave of population declines and extinctions.
>Population extinctions, however, are a prelude to species extinctions, so Earth’s sixth mass extinction episode has proceeded further than most assume.
I'm sure it's fine.

This is the opposite of what I needed.

Actually this is a bit misleading, according to the latest data we're already past 0.9.

It's not going to be a collapse.
It's more like a runaway train - the sooner we put the brakes on, the less damage it's going to do.
