    No no, only the poorest 90% will die. Everyone else will pretend they were one of the good ones afterwards and carry on.

      There is zero reason to think 90% of people are going to die as a result of climate change.

      The status of climate change claims is essentially:

      • Average temperature is going up: definitely true
      • CO2 levels are going up: definitely true
      • The CO2 increases are the cause of the temperature increase: probably, but conflicts with previous periods in geological history of higher CO2 and lower temps, or vice-versa
      • This is caused by humans: maybe
      • This will cause problems for humanity: definitely
      • This will cause existential threat to humanity: almost definitely not true
      • This will cause benefits to humanity: definitely true

      The notion that climate change is going to kill us all is simply false. It’s not what science indicates.
