    Humanity will survive this but everyone will suffer the effects. Even something relatively minor like COVID had great effects to the global economy, but with these we are talking about:

    • Weather inestabilization, with greater storms and massive heat waves.

    • General crop failures in many places of the world.

    • Desertification in many areas.

    • Massive migration waves.

    • Very difficult and unstable economy.

    We are starting to see some of this, but 2050 onwards is going to be a very difficult time for all humanity except the most wealthy.
