Reply to comment by VonMises2 in New Estimate Finds More Magma Under Yellowstone Supervolcano - The extra magma doesn’t mean it’s more likely to erupt, scientists say. In fact, the better measurement helps them to understand its future by GeoGeoGeoGeo

Collapse of most human civilization. Death of all human and animal life in North America.

Right? I don't get it. Is the doomsday mentality a Reddit thing or...? I see it everywhere on here all the time

Climate change may very well disrupt and possibly collapse organized human society, but it is very unlikely to result in extinction.

The doomsday mentality is a dramatization in most cases.

"Collapse organized human society" is a doomsday mentality. There are too many variables to conclusively decide what climate change will do in 5, 10, 50 years. Especially as nations move toward sustainable energy alternatives and humans collectively ease their carbon emissions through diversified consumer options, who knows what technology and human initiative to save ourselves will bring about. I'd rather live hopefully in a world that will end tomorrow than pessimistically in one that will last infinitely.
