We are currently on track to reach +4.5ยฐC average heat increase above pre-industrials levels in 2100. Which means famines all over the World, only 30% of current agricultural Land left for Farming, and wild fires being a common occurence up to the 50th latitude. And Not being able to Go outside in Summer for Most of the World, because our availability to sweat will be hindered by high humidity levels, leaving most people of the Population left for a high Chance to Heat strokes.
All of that assuming our current scientific Models are not lacking behind the reality, as with the recent sharp increase over +1,5ยฐC in 2023-2024, we can not yet completely explain yet. So it could be worse than that, the chances of it being better are almost Zero.
Come on man. Did you not understand the assignment?
I took 'apocalyptic Event' by its Definition, being a sudden Event that Brings about the Apocalypse. To that regard, the climate crisis is a somewhat slow dead.
Maybe... when Biology booms similarly to LLM models like GPT.. then we would see a bug fixed in the plants, which absorb CO2 pretty slowly with a protein building block and thus create an extreme amount of that protein instead of fixing the protein. Which means, if we fix the Protein and modify all plants to create and use it instead through DNA manipulation, then we could have a brighter future than we are now imagining (maybe only a bit less dystopical is what I mean)
I don't think thats really possible. One of the reasons why we have a hard time figuring Out how to get CO2 Out of the atmosphere is because chemically its such non reaction Gas. This stuff interacts with almost nothing and if it reacts (as in being bound to Saccharose and Cellulose in Plants), its always requiring somewhat large amounts of external Energy. So neither technology Nor bilogy will save us
