Disaster is nearing. Mass displacement. Mass starvation. Mass death. It is all imminent. Do you understand?

Yea, the graph showing us up 4 standard deviations isn't easy to understand implications. But I imagine on a person level, it's something like "if you live somewhere hot and humid, you better make sure you can afford to run and repair your AC". On a global level, mammals have existed for 200,000,000 years, yet in 200 years we've toyed with global extinction for shareholder profits.
Meh, humans will survive, literally, unless Antarctica heats over 200 degrees from now, we can survive somewhere on the planet. We won't prosper, there will be billions of deaths and an unimaginable about of loss, but short of planned deliberate nuclear war or large asteroid, we'll survive a little.
Cool, nothing to worry about then!
