We seemingly recognise the threats posed by climate change which will include mass migration (for survival's sake) - but this ‘study' recognises a large number will suffer - and of course it will be the poorer members of our society. Large numbers of poor dispossesed people - I can't wait!

Climate change is causing more parts of the planet to be too hot
If global warming continues, more parts of the planet will become too hot for humans over the coming…

As Forbes unveils its latest Rich List, showcasing yet another record-breaking surge in billionaire wealth, the stark injustice of our economic system has never been clearer. According to Forbes, just over 3,000 billionaires are ‘now worth a record $16.1 trillion in all, $2 trillion more than a year ago and more than the GDP of every country in the world besides the U.S. and China’
Climate change are giving new shape to the northern hemisphere, making the glaciers disappear and emerge the rocks: according to what is detected by a study published on Nature Climate Change, conducted by a team of polar ecologists, geographers and marine scientists, between 2000 and 2020 Greenland would have earned 1,620 kilometers of rocky coasts due to the dissolution of the ice

What social attitudes must we create to stop the #pipelines, #fracking, #LNG, etc.?
We have the awareness, through society, but the desire isn't there. It's opposed by status quo convenience & #BigCarbon & weak politicians.
We also have the knowledge & ability to address #climatechange in BC, but without leadership, and STARTing, we can't reinforce positive change!
Ice scientist used in misleading Trumpet of Patriots ad speaks out
By Jonathan Hair and Michael Workman
Clive Palmer's Trumpet of Patriots party has spent at least $175,000 promoting a misleading two-decade old video.
Power to the people. 
Sluggish action on the climate crisis is inspiring communities to take charge of their own renewable energy, bringing benefits beyond lower bills.

LOL, I’m pretty sure the average person will be dead if we hit 4C of global warming. Agriculture will collapse before that, so billions will starve.
"Average person will be 40% poorer if world warms by 4C, new research shows”

To fix the climate crisis we need systemic change
We should ask ourselves - which systems are within our reach to change? What can we do on a community level, here and now?
Well, one thing we can do is hosting Mastodon servers and plant trees. Here's how to use that for systemic change
One of the major worries about climate tipping points is that it’s impossible for anyone, even the smartest of scientists, to say with any certainty how soon each of them might be reached or what will happen then.
Could one tipping point trigger another?
Yes, probably, but we don’t for sure which ones or exactly how. And we can’t really predict the timing or the magnitude of positive feedbacks and cascading effects, when multiple tipping points might overlap and reinforce and possibly amplify each other.
It’s not the fault of the scientists. They’re doing the best they can with the evidence and the tools they have. But it’s all quite unpredictable because they have never been in this position before. No one ever has.
What capitalist industry and commerce has done just in the last three decades, pumping nearly a *trillion* tons of CO₂ into the air, has no precedent. Never before in Earth’s history has so much carbon dioxide been added to the atmosphere over such a short period of time.
Because human lifespans are short, 30 years may seem like a long time to us — but in geological terms, that’s merely the blink of an eye. On such a scale, it’s literally as if we have detonated a bomb.
Welcome to the nightmare.
Economic models have systematically underestimated how global heating will affect people’s wealth, according to a new study that finds 4C warming will make the average person 40% poorer – an almost four-fold increase on some estimates.

People in the know know what's coming.
Climate scientists know.
Top Wall Street financiers know.
Our "leaders" in business and government know.
Global warming *will* exceed 1.5°C above the pre-industrial average. Effectively it already has.
Any hope of staying below 2°C also appears to be lost. We are now heading toward a 3° world, if not higher.
Of course we should continue working hard to limit the catastrophic damage as much as possible. But you’re a fool if you’re not beginning at this point to prepare for the worst — because that's what's coming.

Yes, your #allergies are getting worse
"Sneezing and sniffles are some of the sirens of #ClimateChange. In fact, because of warming, pollen is now a nearly year-round menace in some parts of the US. Pollen, the main seasonal allergy trigger, is emerging earlier in the year, in higher concentrations, and lasting longer year after year."

“We now expect a 3°C world,” Morgan Stanley analysts wrote earlier this month, citing “recent setbacks to global decarbonization efforts.”
... and they adjust their strategies to profit form catastrophic climate change.
As aways blind to the long-term consequences of their opportunism.
