Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold, Ctd

A reader remarks in response to my observations concerning glacial melting:

The revenge will mostly come in the form [of] the ecosystem necessary for us to grow food collapsing. Billions of us are going to die prematurely before 2100.

Quite possibly true. On the other hand, scientists are also concerned about the falling fertility of Western Civ. Whether that happens quickly enough to “save” the dying species of our current age is uncertain; my guess is that Earth will be replacing a lot more species than normal over the next 30,000 years. If we learn to live within our ecology, then we may be permitted to continue.

Or if we accomplish the Hawking/Musk goal of transplanting to another world we may survive, although I doubt that any world in the Solar System will suffice, barring our technology becoming such that Dyson spheres come within our grasp.

In which case, just call us God.
