    Gonna be a rough time. Maybe we will have it all at once and wipe out 3/4 of the worlds population and maybe the planet will recovery a few generations later.

    But that would be a stretch of a silver lining.

      Global CO2 production dropped dramatically for years after WW2. It doesn’t even take eliminating a significant fraction of the population to drastically improve our emissions, all it takes is a large economic impact. Less global prosperity = less CO2.

      So hey, maybe this is great for the planet… (But still really bad for the human race)
