There's ample scientific literature on what is likely to happen if we don't manage to keep warming below 1.5 ° over the next decade. None of it describes conditions conducive to human survival.

Now, you've repeatedly been shown quotes emphasising things that you denied were even part of the report. Were you lying when you made those repeated denials, or had you actually not read the thing?

No, I haven't, you haven't shown me any quotes about the Earth being stripped of oxygen and the human race dying out even after I directly asked you for one

Moreover, you haven't actually linked to the report at all, only to secondary sources describing the report as an urgent call to stay below 1.5 degrees of warming (which it is), but none of which present your apocalyptic reasoning for 1.5 degrees being an absolute cutoff

IPCC's summary: If NDC ambitions are not increased immediately and backed up by action, exceeding the 1.5°C goal can no longer be avoided. If the emissions gap is not closed by 2030, it is very plausible that the goal of a well-below 2°C temperature increase is also out of reach.

'[The report] highlights the urgency of fundamental socio-economic transformation in key sectors such as land use and energy in order to avert dangerous global temperature increase with potentially irreversible impacts.'

You denied those things were even mentioned. Do I really have to quote you back to yourself or will you admit that you either hadn't read the thing or were hoping that none of your sycophants had read it?

I did not, I denied that the depletion of atmospheric oxygen and the extinction of the human race were mentioned, because they aren't

Did you not notice that neither of those things are in the quotes you just pasted

Christ, you climate deniers like to shift the goal posts. There's this stuff called 'scientific literature', and when the report alludes to 'irreversible effects' of not heeding the 'urgency of fundamental socioeconomic transfomration', it's alluding to that literature

Okay, so show me that literature For the record, you're still quoting articles about the report, not the report itself, which does not speak in vague generalities but is quite specific about what consequences they predict and with what level of confidence

I'm quoting the IPCC's own summary. You claimed the IPCC had never said such a thing. It's right on their fucking website. That's why http://IPCC.ch is in the URL. Are you really going to go all in with this? Leave some credibility for the next guest to devour.

Wait, what summary says human survival is contingent on keeping the temperature below 1.5 or 2 deg. C? I scrolled but couldn’t find the report you’re referring to.
