Reply to comment by f1del1us in Current climate pledges have us heading for a world that is 2.4 to 2.6°C hotter | UN Environment Program report finds that the international community is still falling far short of the Paris goals, with no credible pathway to 1.5°C in place. by imrussellcrowe

People are too busy trying to survive from day to day to think about the long term.

The problem is, there won't be a long term. Humanity will not survive much longer. The planet will recover eventually.

For the people that do survive, mass food and water shortages, disease and death on an enormous scale won't make it a world worth living in. The richest will probably be OK for a time, but most of the planet won't be inhabitable, people will be moving around and putting even more pressure on the little remaining inhabitable land.

I do think it’s possible we will go underground, coupled with genetic engineering (of ourselves and our food sources). But most of the biosphere will be likely fucked.
