Not enough people know about EEI. We used to have (enough) cloud and ice to reflect sunlight back. Not anymore. Deforestation and removing air pollution reduces cloud formations and albedo permanently. The ice disappears permanently. Less snow. Etc. The albedo graph is the inverse temperature graph.

There are: 1,200,000,000 dogs (domesticated wolves). 200,000 wolves. Naturally, we need to hunt and kill the wolves. Why? They tend to eat the same food that our dogs eat. If humans and dogs adapted a plant-based diet, it would set 2/3s of land free to regenerate and to keep us all alive.

We look at NPP of vegetation and treat primary and managed secondary ecosystems the same. Our land use CO2 accounting is off as annual atmospheric CO2 growth shows. Ecosystems and carbon sinks are in free fall and collapsing. Climate on Earth is ultimately not physics, like on Mars, but biology.

Many talk about peace, love and harmony or speak up against domestic violence and wars … but … there is a but. Real violence and real peace are more than words and slogans.

Near term human extinction is increasingly obvious. The reason why we can discuss #collapse but not #extinction is the story of humans. Collapse is social. Extinction is biological, like death. The human story is that we have decoupled from nature and are not “lower” animals. #SoonerThan #NTHE

Worse! We are destroying the last functioning CO2 pumps (carbon sinks) aka life support systems at record speed. Burning dead primary production (FF) bought us time to stop destroying living (working) primary production. Aka end population & meat growth. We didn’t. Worst mass extinction in history.

Human #extinction studies are not popular. It shouldn't surprise that those that do exist are not very "comprehensively modeled" (no population or °C modeling) or lack observational real world data consideration. Given population aka ppm & EEI growth we should expect 2°C by 2030 / 3°C by 2040. #NTHE

Source Approach and main assumptions Open issue
"ÓhÉigeartaigh (2025)
Extinction of the human species" Reviews possible extinction mechanisms, including climate change and ecological degradation. Gives no population or warming trajectory for 2050/2100. Considers direct extinction from environmental degradation implausible on the evidence reviewed. How much could interacting crises increase extinction risk beyond the effects of individual hazards? No quantified answer.
"Kemp et al. (2022)
Climate Endgame" Proposes research into catastrophic climate outcomes, tipping cascades and mass mortality. Focuses on 3°C by 2100; uses demographic scenarios for illustrative exposure maps. The mechanisms, probabilities and demographic consequences of cascading failures remain insufficiently studied. 3°C is a research marker, not an extinction threshold.
"Beard et al. (2021)
Assessing climate change’s contribution to global catastrophic risk" Develops a conceptual feedback loop: ecological degradation → food insecurity → political breakdown → further ecological degradation. No fixed population–temperature pathway. Could this feedback become globally self-reinforcing, how quickly, and would it prevent surviving populations from recovering? The framework does not calculate those outcomes.
"Rees (2023)
The Human Ecology of Overshoot" Argues that resource dependence and ecological overshoot will cause major population contraction. Discusses >2°C by 2050 and 2.4–2.8°C by 2100. Explicitly considers extinction unlikely barring nuclear catastrophe. No dated demographic model establishes the timing or magnitude of contraction. The cited 0.1–3 billion long-term carrying-capacity estimates are not forecasts for 2050 or 2100.
"Ripple et al. (2025)
The 2025 state of the climate report" Synthesizes observed planetary deterioration and interconnected risks. Uses approximately 3.1°C by 2100 as policy context. Does not calculate how tipping cascades translate into global population loss or extinct…

When it comes to land use and CO2 accounting, we do genuinely stupid/dangerous things. We count new forest (expansion) or forestry as actual forest ecosystems. They are NOT. It takes 300-1000 years for primary forests to form, days to destroy them. The carbon sinks are collapsing - CO2 growth grows.
