Here is where the article tells us what to expect probably from next year forward:

A surge of global temperatures that began this summer provided an initial picture of how a planet 1.5 degrees hotter will look: Unprecedented heat at the limits of human survival. Antarctic sea ice astonishingly far below its record minimum. Devastating floods, fires and other weather extremes that have been linked to climate change.

This is where we stand:

The team of scientists projected that the temperature of the planet could consistently exceed the 1.5C threshold within seven years if emission levels hold.

A large part of earth’s population is in for a rough ride. To put it mildly.

I am terrified.

I’m just living life now. Born too late too make a change. Ofcourse a certain group of people may need to be held accountable, but they won’t. We, the people, will. Nothing will change. I’m so depressed reading this. I wanted kids. I’m afraid to give them life knowing what disasters may come. I wanted to become a grandfather one day, if lucky enough. Yet all I do is feel like I won’t even make a grandfatherly age.

Older family members think I’m crazy for believing we’re facing a disaster. They say things like: “every generation has its disaster story”. Maybe they know, but can’t comprehend what’s happening. It’s this same process of thinking " it’s not that bad" that got us here in just a few hundred years. Yet still here we are. Facing possibly the end of life as we’ve known it.

Why do we not follow the scientists in their studies instead of politicians blaming everyone and everything BUT the ones who are accountable?

Am I overthinking this, while sitting on a toilet…?

I hope the next apex species takes better care of it than we did. We should start carving warnings into cave walls.
