In short, we aren’t on track to an apocalyptic extinction, and the new head is concerned that rhetoric that we are is making people apathetic and paralyzes them from making beneficial actions.

He makes it clear too that this doesn’t mean things are perfectly fine. The world is becoming and will be more dangerous with respect to climate. We’re going to still have serious problems to deal with. The problems just aren’t insurmountable and extinction level.

    Good luck buying homeowner’s insurance in Florida …Oh wait…

    Or just move to California… Oh shit…

    Yeah these effects are “isolated”

    And I’ll drop this nugget here:×but by 2070, extremely hot zones could make up almost 20 percent of the land, which means that a third of humanity could potentially be living in uninhabitable conditions.

    If that’s just the way it goes… Maybe they can move in with you?

      So their is more than just storm issues in fl that cause issue with finding home insurance. Don’t get me wrong storms are a part of it, but the rampant and ease of ability for contractors to commit insurance fraud and get away with it among several other issues also was heavy aspects in it as well.

        This is true, thanks. Increasingly however, insurers are going to cite storms and sea level rise as justification for not insuring homes. See : the outer banks, NC for a preview

      “could make” and also by 2070 (if). It will not happen at once. It will take time and people will migrate. Also, technology will change radically in 50 years. All of you alarmists, although I share your concerns, act like nothing else but temperature/climate will change.
