>the verge of apocalypse

Actually, by most scientific measures we've dodged apocalyptic climate change pretty handily at this point.

Assuming nothing much changes on our current trajectory (i.e. The current market supported pace of renewable adoption and other pricing/security induced energy changes) the world will warm somewhere between 1.7-1.9 degrees Celsius.

That will lead to greater instability in weather patterns, more extreme weather events, etc, but Human society will persist without major global scale collapse, and much of the world will experience only mild to moderate disruptions.

>this world is a dystopia

How do you classify a dystopia and what are you comparing it to?

By every measure we've ever conceived of, the world today is richer, healthier, better fed, better educated, more democratic, more equal, and generally better off than at literally any other time in human history.
