what's the best rigorous case for the plausibility of runaway / extinction-level climate change?
(2) seems to assume very high co2 emissions for a very long time, (3) talks about effects that are centuries or millennia away

and (4) rules out a wholly uninhabitable like venus scenario

weird to me how common global warming extinction seems to be in the public imagination compared to how absent from science literature

Do you see countries and individuals cutting back on emissions after the point where they are uninhabitable multiple months of the year? (See: Most of the Middle East.) My worry is that once we hit that point, they will give up and stop seriously trying to mitigate the impact.

i think predicting anything multiple centuries ahead is silly. afaik though business as usual scenarios predict way less than 3-5 doublings
