"Failure to cut carbon emissions means ‘rapid transformation of societies’ is only option to limit impacts"
The UN implies that the only way we'll be able to stop global warming, is if we implement socialism immediatly.
The 1.5°C degree limit is important because once we cross it, a domino-effect of self-reinforcing mechanisms is activated, see:

Build viable alternatives and agitate/educate among the people around you, as much as you can, imo

There literally aren't enough resources to stop the climate migration
The west currently struggles with a couple million Guatemalans and Syrians
Now imagine hundreds of millions of Mexicans, Venezuelans, Algerians, SPANIARDS, ITALIANS, etc migrating north because there's no water left
millions will be shot at the border, but more still will make it in

You can see examples of what's likely to happen by looking at other countries going through what's expected to happen to the US. The Dominican Republic has been getting pummeled by climate change and their attitude towards Haitians has been pretty awful overall. The amount of Haitians trying to get in is comparable to the amount of refugees expected to get into the US when you take the Dominican Republic's size into account.
Guatemala also has a lot of refugees trying to get to the US and this leads to violent border patrol and gangs picking off refugees for trafficking. I don't think all of South America will become uninhabitable by 2050, but most of it will be. The ones hanging on will still be plagued with significant issues that will only get worse as time goes on.
Oh, climate fascism was already locked-in before this (IIRC the US military plan for the refugees was to build a wall and kill them since at least 2009). My (far more doomer) hope for China is that they're able to keep some sort of industrialized society intact and functioning, but even then I have doubts.
I think China will keep their society mostly intact, but the country itself is going to lose a lot of land and people. It will be greatly reduced in size and population as will most countries that manage to hold out.
my mom said it was okay for the future, because the most populated areas would die from climate change, and then it will go back to normal.
:agony-deep:
bitch if this goes far I'm killing you, dumbass mofo.
:scared-fash:
They'll use starvation and cholera. Bomb ports and bridges so food can't move, poison water supplies. It's the quickest way to kill vast, vast groups of people.
The west can only sustain itself on the theft from and exploitation of the global south
The west won't survive but white people are too chauvinistic to see that they're useless parasites who will be without a host
