    This is a far more complex question than anyone here is (probably) qualified to answer. Even in my day job, which deals with climatology frequently, I couldn’t tell you definitively one way or the other. Mostly, that’s because the consensus is something like “it depends”.

    It depends on where you live, what measures at remediation we take over the next century, what adaptations we pursue as a society, etc. It’ll be “good” for some regions, and very bad for others. I don’t believe in being climatepilled. You apply pressure where you can, and you don’t stop. You adopt the Grandpa Munster (Al Lewis) mindset:

    I've been in the struggle over 70 years. It doesn't bother me I may not win. After doing X amount of time or years, don't throw your hands up in the air because, you see, everybody wants 'the win'. They want it today. It doesn't happen. The struggle goes on. The victory is in the struggle, for me. And I accepted that a long time ago.

    However challenging things get over the next X number of years, adopting a personal outlook of resignation, nihilism, or apathy won’t serve you in the pursuit of creating a meaningful, impactful, and personally fulfilling life wherever and however you can.
