A harrowing new climate change report warns we may be on the way to extinction, claiming there is a “high likelihood” human civilization will come to an end by 2050 unless action is taken on greenhouse gas emissions.

The dire paper, which predicts a biblical-like scenario of devastating floods, drought, famine and a breakdown in international order, has been endorsed by the former chief of Australia’s military.

The analysis, published May 30 by Australian think tank the Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration, calls for a new approach to climate change and paints a bleak picture of the world in 30 years if nothing is done to combat greenhouse emissions.

Assuming we stay on our current trajectory, emissions will lock in a 3 degree Celsius (5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) global warming, setting off a disastrous chain off events which the report’s authors claim will lead to “a high likelihood of human civilization coming to an end.”


According to the report’s central “2050 scenario,” one billion people will be forced to relocate from unlivable conditions while food production will become inadequate to feed the global population, as first reported by VICE.

North America will suffer from devastating weather extremes including wildfires, heatwaves and drought — while other places in the world such as the Middle East and West Africa will become unlivable.

Meanwhile, 55% of the global population would be subjected to more than 20 days a year of lethal heat conditions, “beyond the threshold of human survivability.”

“This scenario provides a glimpse into a world of ‘outright chaos’ on a path to the end of human civilization and modern society as we have known it, in which the challenges to global security are simply overwhelming and political panic becomes the norm,” the authors claim.

The report, meant to serve as a briefing for policymakers, comes with a forward from retired Admiral Chris Barrie — chief of the Australian Defence Force from 1998 to 2002 — who commends the paper for laying “bare the unvarnished truth about the desperate situation humans, and our planet, are in.”

There will be a global paradigm shift before 2050 which will be so fundamental that it defies prediction.

Stuff like this does not come as a surprise to me and, honestly, it’s difficult for me to conceive that it would surprise anyone or that there’s anyone out there who does not expect current civilization to breakdown sometime in the next 30-50 years. All one has to do is “play out the tape” of current policies and approaches and we find stuff like this.

It’s honestly astonishing to me that anything ever works at all, with how irrational and uninformed-yet-opinionated most people are. Get two or three human beings in a room and you could win money all day betting that they won’t be able to get all that far in solving problems or reach an agreement on things.

What made this civilization possible was the very notion of free thought and liberal values that the West somehow embraced. We don’t burn scientists at the at the stake anymore or kill people on the cutting edge of human thought. The standard of living around the world has risen over time as “a tide has risen all ships” but, unfortunately, the horizon looks dark and a crisis is looming in humanity’s future.

I don’t concern myself with this stuff much, though. I’m not even near misanthropic, either. I’m just a realist. Everything passes, civilizations come and go. The human story never seemed slated to in any way be romantic or idealistic. At best, it’s a comedy and at worst, it’s a tragedy. It is pretty damn incredible what we have done, though, over the past century. A small part of me hopes that we will figure this out and pull through, but I’m skeptical.

And again, I'm feelin this too... I think we're already seeing the begining of this major shift tbh.

Absolutely, it has already begun and is well underway. The Universe is doing its thing and we get to take part in the Change.

Through the participation of billions of humans in the Internet, a hive mind of superhuman inteligence already exists today.

Why do you think we are akll glued to those screens like bitches?

We're awaiting the Next Stage in Evolution.

We are participating in something greater than us even by something as mundane as by laughing at cat picturs.

The Collectinve Unconscious is getting organized on the www.





People fetishize the Singularity as the point AI takes over and say "not yet" but its a cascade of paradigm shoifts throughout every field of our consciousness too and that cascade is HAPPENING NOW.

You won't be able to watch the ingularity through that little screen- the singularity will happen INSIDE OF YOU more than anywhere wlse.

Ride the Early Wave!

Maybe "civilization", but not the human race entirely. We're pretty resilient animals.

My guess is the rich will inhabit the most livable areas and the poor will fight wars for them under the guise of "patriotism" or some other religious bullshit.

This is such great wisdom to carry day2day for that wonderful shift.
I have faith this seed will be planted to many.

My question for the group is can government fix the problem? Of course the ruling elite are quick to tell you how to live, but are they going to give up their lavish life style in the name of “global warming? Is Nancy Pelosi going to give up her chauffeured limousine for a ford festival? What has the government fixed in the last 20 yrs? I can’t answer that but I can tell you that the government that wants to fix ‘global warming” can’t even balance their budget.

I'm kind of confused about where you're coming from, truthfully once the illuminati is mentioned or scripture gets quoted my interest begins fading pretty quickly.

no biggy. Since global climate is prety evident, due to emission, industrialization, deforestation etc.. and we cannot act on it immidiately due corruptions inside-out from cults(religion) bloc voting empowering political agendas and its getting worse. Add to that industrial agriculture that cannot cope & that kills the soil. Us being too accustomed to it.

That there will be paradigim shift which defies predictions with the help of a "divine Hands"(optimistic)
Whether be castostrophe or not, During the process of it. There will be a great impact/tremor on civilization as a process of the dissolution of corrupt sectors(too many to mention) its a domino effect. Worse is a collapse/blackout. But this will be shortlived as ive mentioned on the other threads. Were eventually come the (E)Light & Unity(Singularity) to restore the earth prestige/reforestation as first and foremost, the first stage can be considered as modern old age. as we refine our ways for a rapid shift towards the a next era.

I mean, what's the ultimate goal here anyways?  20 billion humans living like shit, no thank you. I'm going to continue to live a life that makes me the most comfortable, just like every other human.

I like when people say, “Dumb scientists think cow farts are causing global warming. What a bunch of idiots! Hahahaha!!!””      

Little do these people know that the methane is coming from the lakes of shit produced by the factory farms that raise the livestock they eat.
