Oh, only climate change. Well that's alright then. /s
Climate change is going to influence everything in our society for the worse: politics, economics, living standards, everything, including the amount of resources available to use for research.
The world will keep on turning, but there is absolutely no factual basis for claiming it will keep on progressing. If anything that is one thing we can learn from history.
Cite the numbers that make you pessimistic.
If you don't have numbers, then keep your crystal astrology bad vibes to yourself until you have something to back them.
I'm fucking sick of leftists acting like being moody and pessimistic is a valid political stan stance that does anything.
What kind of numbers are you going after?
I mean, probably you want numbers to prove that climate change is changing politics and economics, etc. for the worse, or maybe just numbers for proving that climate change is real.
But both of these seem like such trivial information that I'm probably just guessing wrong. But because of that, I'd be curious to know: what kind of numbers did you mean?
I can probably help digging up some for you, but not if you just meant "prove that climate change exists". But, numbers proving that economy will suffer from climate change should be easy to find. (And I think you could just search for them yourself...)
The goal posts are just going to be moved if you produce anything with numbers on it.
