MODERATORS
I didn't know that the IPCC was an international form subject to influence from delegates interested in shifting blame, but Sam Hall does a good job explaining why we may end up with a worse outcome than had been modeled before.
I don't think that humans will go extinct, even if most of our systems fail, insects mostly disappear, plankton dissolve, and we experience 10C warming over 1500 years.
Based on what I read in the article, if humans don't go extinct it will be a very close call. There's a small chance that maybe some hunter-gatherer tribes located in ideal areas will survive because humans are so adaptable and resourceful, but it seems civilization as we know it will definitely end.
