30% extinction of plant and animal species.
Regeneration of the planetâs species in 2051 will be done through the infrastructure program.

Every species? Of course not, but wonât it cause a chain reaction for most species if their environment dies and the stuff they used to sustain themselves dies? So in your example of the beetle, wonât it be fucked because a lot of shit it uses to survive dying out?
I think people are getting confused on how global warming will work. Even in the worst case scenarios what happens is eco zones essentially shift north. The most impacted species will be those that require cooler temperatures or seasonality. Warm adapted species will be less effected.
Something like pine beetle is largely prevented from rapid spread by winter. Remove that constraint and it will thrive.
As you point out the interaction of species is very complex so we donât actually know how it will all play out. Some species who are warm adapted are sure to go extinct because they rely in some way on another species that isnât as well adapted. That is why the models have relatively large error margins.
My point in this discussion, is it is very important in the climate change debate to be as factual as we possibly can because any hyperbole is political suicide. The real case is very bad. No need to exaggerate it.

Oh yeah I agree, there was some extreme unfactual hyperbole on the 98%. I was just saying lots of the warm climate adapted ones will also die out because of complex systems.
But yeah plenty will survive, including us, but it will still be hundreds of millions dead and massive suffering on untold scales. Not just by 3rd world countries either. There will be massive financial collapse as well.

I think Iâve read that something like 99.99% of species ever to have existed have gone extinct. GW is clearly an issue for humans and tons of other species but life (lots of it) will absolutely find a way to keep going.

This is just another myth pushed by Big Mask.

Teh warming is increasing in pace, soon it will be to fast for life to adapt, and the food chain will break down.
U will either starve 2 death or choke to death on the dust.
Or so says some expert from cali.

I donât like that maybe several hundred million climate refugees and tens or even more than a hundred million deaths isnât enough for it to count as an emergency for everyone.

My $382/month fed loan payment being on hold has been wonderful, but my $820/month state loan has been going strong unfortunately. Not looking forward to the fed loan being due again.
Donât worry 2 weeks until he cancels student debt
