Cool cool, so what are we going to eat then?
With all the pollinators dying off over the next +1.5c, and 90% of the top soil depleted by 2050, and ever more erratic climates world wide, plants will not grow.
The oceans will very soon be so hot and acidic that the phytoplancton at the base of the oceans ecosystem, will dissolve. So sea food isn't going to be an option either.
Oooh, maybe animals on land, right? Well, yeah no, without crops livestock is unsustainable and considering humans and livestock currently makes up 95% of the worlds mammal biomass and the remaining 5% can't survive without food... looks like that's not going to be an option for feeding the 'persevering' either.
Life finds a way.
Even if 99.999999% of the population dies out, humans will still survive. (I calculated that percentage)
Other animals will adapt to those acidic oceans.
Plants will still survive, not all edible, but so was most of the plants we ate during the ice age.
Even if we have to go back to the stone age, we will survive.
If you say so. Enjoy the last of the abundance now, our future is very bleak.
