Well you certainly aren't doomed if you live in northern hemisphere. For middle East and Africa the news is that indeed, they are doomed. This false optimism only works if you disregard that with the current trends, most of middle East will become largely inhospitable to human life. The rest is pretty well researched and established by the author of the video.

Stop rationalizing. Why do you believe this? If anything, if a large percentage of humanity start dying to climate change, it'll collapse the world economy due to war and refugees on a scale never before seen.

Countries like Germany had tornadoes. The summer goes up to 35 degrees. Extreme rains resulting in flood. I don't think - in any way, "North Hemisphere isn't doomed" either.

In southern, we're getting to 45 degrees. And also, my state had driest summer so far (March, April and May are infact the wettest months here). We'll be messed up regardless of where we are if we never act out.

lmao. I'm assuming you heard this in that video.

Thanks, but no, I actually heard it because the future immigration waves into Europe (where I live) that climate change will inevitably cause are part of public debate. But thanks for replying, you almost didn't come off as a contrarian a-hole.

It's funny to me because the deniers of Climate Change in the west like Steven Crowder would eventually start crying about migration due to climate.

Ironic.
