The good news is that civilization will not end in just under 12 years now, and as we get closer to 2050, it will be pushed out to 2080, then 2100, and so forth. But, hey, we can solve this with a tax
"Climate change could end human civilization by 2050" #CrazyBS https://t.co/NlMTn24Sla

From the article, which is repeated across the crazy news media, of course
A harrowing new climate change report warns we may be on the way to extinction, claiming there is a “high likelihood†human civilization will come to an end by 2050 unless action is taken on greenhouse gas emissions.
The dire paper, which predicts a biblical-like scenario of devastating floods, drought, famine and a breakdown in international order, has been endorsed by the former chief of Australia’s military.
The analysis, published May 30 by Australian think tank the Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration, calls for a new approach to climate change and paints a bleak picture of the world in 30 years if nothing is done to combat greenhouse emissions.
Assuming we stay on our current trajectory, emissions will lock in a 3 degree Celsius (37 degrees Fahrenheit) global warming, setting off a disastrous chain off events which the report’s authors claim will lead to “a high likelihood of human civilization coming to an end.â€
Someone needs to work on their math skills. A 3C rise is equal to 5.4F. Which won’t happen. Again, there’s been a minimal rise of 1.5F (1C) since 1850
According to the report’s central “2050 scenario,†one billion people will be forced to relocate from unlivable conditions while food production will become inadequate to feed the global population.
North America will suffer from devastating weather extremes including wildfires, heatwaves and drought — while other places in the world such as the Middle East and West Africa will become unlivable.
Meanwhile, 55% of the global population would be subjected to more than 20 days a year of lethal heat conditions, “beyond the threshold of human survivability.â€
“This scenario provides a glimpse into a world of ‘outright chaos’ on a path to the end of human civilization and modern society as we have known it, in which the challenges to global security are simply overwhelming and political panic becomes the norm,†the authors claim.
Damn, the NY Post did not waste words getting right to the utter Doomy prognostications of the report, did they.
It’s not much of a paper, just 12 pages, an easy read, and rather devoid of science. But, that’s not the point, which is to get the prognostications of doom out into the public sphere through the very compliant news media.
Oh good, I should be dead by then
Teach typed: “The good news is that civilization will not end in just under 12 years…”
It was not claimed that the civilization would end in 12 years, although some have said American civilization ended at noon, 20 January 2017.
The Earth has warmed 0.9C since 1970, with no reason to expect the warming to stop.
AOC claimed civilization will end in 12 years on Jan. 21, 2019.
Here is one of several videos where she states it. What is your next false claim, Elwood?

She was trolling you trolls.
“No reason to expect the warming to stop.â€. More importantly, no reason to expect whatever warming there is to be harmful to life on earth. And actually, the warming did stop for many years during the “pauseâ€, contrary to the hypothesis
Funny, but your “pause” started on the highest average temp in recorded history. And was “pause”d until the next record high.
I’m surprised deniers haven’t called this the start of a new “pause” which will last until the next record high.
But then you all recently decided that it actually is warming, so a new “pause” would be embarrassing.
I wonder if the Chinese, Indians, and Pakistanis pay enough taxes to stop global warming.
