Possible outcomes for humanity

EXTINCTION

We do nothing to stop global heating and a runaway greenhouse effect makes human life incredibly precarious
This leads to some form of totalitarian states probably fascist or possible communist in nature. The remains of humanity are enslaved by the ruling class. All out nuclear war between the new regimes wipes out homo sapiens.

SALVATION

Either

A technological miracle draws vast amounts of CO2 out of the atmosphere. Unlikely in the extreme

or

We don't avert the ecological catastrophe but somehow we develop a free, fair, and ecological world system from the ashes. More likely a few small isolated pockets of humanity in Northern Canada, Alaska, Siberia, Patagonia or the Tibetan plateau. Not a lot of soil in those places.

UNLIKELY

Space Slave Colonies
If these are the saviour of us all we are doomed. See Extinction

Mad Max
What the fuck do they eat in a world like that? See extinction

Floating colonies in the oceans
Repurpose bulk carriers and cruise ships or something. What do they use for fuel? Rebuild the age of sail? Maybe IDK

Other sci fi stuff
see floating colonies

Take you pick. Put your money where your mouth is don't forget that you might have to fight and die to defend your decision.

Delighted to have a chapter in this gorgeous book published last week. Edited by the marvellous Hannah Stark, my chapter considers strategies employed for more-than-human witnessing of extinction by contemporary art: cephalopods, energy landscapes, witnessing, hydrofeminism, & saltwater aesthetics. It’s a terrific book. #extiction #anthropocene #memorial #humananimal #loss #morethanhuman #energylandscapes #cephalopod #contempraryart

"In einer Stellungnahme räumt der Kohlekonzern sogar ein, dass die Abbaggerung politische Gründe hat: »Keine Befriedung: Es entstünde eine Motivation zu weiteren Blockaden. Damit zusätzliche Unsicherheiten bei der weiteren Tagebauführung«, heißt es in einer Stellungnahme vom August ."

SPIEGEL-Klimabericht: Der toxische Deal um Lützerath

Mehr als 300 Dörfer sind für die Braunkohle in Deutschland bereits abgebaggert worden. Lützerath ist eines der letzten. Die Gründe für die Räumung sind schwach, der politische Preis ist hoch.
