" I
feel that climate change is increasingly becoming an issue that will
unavoidably make large groups of people miserable within this century at
the latest.
It's possible that me, as a 22 year old man, may see
extreme hunger and thirst even in my home country of the USA. Because of
this, I feel constantly nervous that my life may end horribly, and all
my efforts to have a good life may be worthless.
I definitely do not
want to have kids, and be responsible for their future suffering.
All
this said, I don't want this to be the case; I would be very happy if it
wasn't, I'm just not completely convinced that humanity can turn this
around and continue to have a good standard of living.
I doubt that
humanity will go extinct from climate change soon, but I still think it
may happen. Give me hope for humanity and the world!
Edit: people are focusing on the idea of human extinction, but I
intended that to be a possible worst case scenario. What I'm more
worried about is the extreme lowering of the quality of human living and
the immense global suffering leading to a decline in humanity's
progress and overall happiness."
