Can it fuck up a bunch of coastal cities and make us rethink where we grow produce sure. Is it going to end the world, no not really, so move to an area that is a climate refuge and teach your kids how to be self sustainable if you are truly worried. People love to act like climate change will end all life on earth, it won’t it will fuck up how our societies are currently designed and cause a lot of death but honestly maybe thats the only way we can get out of the capitalist hell scape by having mother nature force everyone to actually work/think differently.
“Adaptation to 4°C may not be possible: A 4°C world is likely to create a set of interacting pressures, making it hard to project what will happen as a result. Models, for example, often don’t take into account what might happen if reduced water availability, new diseases, and heat extremes happen at the same time. In its 2012 report on the impacts of a 4°C temperature rise, the World Bank concluded: “there is no certainty that adaptation to a 4°C world is possible … the projected 4°C warming simply must not be allowed to occur.””

If we find ourselves going back to high emissions we might even hit closer to 5C by 2100
Yes, but when they talk about adaption, they are talking about adapting our current world and society without adverse effects, which, of course, probably won’t work. There will have to be dramatic changes in society to work in the post climate change world, powers will shift, people will end up dying, where we grow food will change, etc. The world won’t just end but there will have to be change and maybe thats the best opportunity the world will have to get out of the oppressive systems like capitalism. Be mindful of how you view the future, dont go building a life on a costal city or area at risk of flooding or extreme heat waves, without mindful people having children and pushing life forward we are surely going to be doomed. All I’m saying is people are always living in “unprecedented times” its not a reason to not have kids if they are truly something you want, there will always be struggles and things to overcome thats the way of life. Just make sure you can care for your kids in the best way possible for your situation before having them and dont have them for the purpose of living through your kids.
There are unprecedented times and then there knowing there could be mass amounts of famines and when researching how populations over came those, realizing that modern western cultures don’t know how to most of the things we did back then, much less make things like bread out of birch wood.
That isn’t to say you shouldn’t have kids, that’s on you to assess the risk. This is to say there’s some justification for not wanting to take the gamble on this particular risk for a disaster
That is if climate change doesn’t turn into a catastrophe

Okay, that’s a fair point
