3. entrepreneurs looking for tax subsidies and beneficial regulations.
Keep in mind that academic researchers face pressure to generate papers which in turn generate media coverage. They have to keep their funding secure through grants, or the gravy train comes to a full stop. The extreme changes proposed in this article and echoed by Yuri B. are simply not justified by the evidence. Extreme weather events - heat waves, tornadoes, floods - are no more common today than they were in the past. Don't be fooled by the propaganda.
When JB came in, the first thing he did was block the Keystone Pipeline. JB tried to cut a deal with the Venezuelans and the Iranians. (As if we couldn't do business with Canada! Absurd.) Now we are in a situation where global demand for oil is about the same as 2019, but the price of oil has doubled. As we face increasing inflation and an energy shortage, there are two options:
1. option 1 - go back to coal.
China, India, Brazil
Most emerging market countries are going down this path. People are saying, 'to hell with climate change, to hell with COP 27 - between being COLD and being POLLUTED, I choose being POLLUTED."
2. option 2 - ration energy
It's economic suicide. You kill jobs, 'falsify' prices and mess up the economy.
We face high inflation, unfolding energy crisis, sovereign debt loads that are going to mean entire countries imploding, a miserable outlook for US treasuries, and WW3.

Reject this "dire futurology." Human nature is not immutable, and you don't have to attribute significance to transient events or engage in this sort of neurotic ennui.
Extinction Rebellion is right that kids generate way more carbon emissions than anything in your life. Therefore, the best way to fight climate change is to not have children. No need to expose them or you to the stresses of global boiling and the climate emergency.
Climate change is being overblown by:
1. attention-seekers looking for attention
2. politicians looking for votes
3. entrepreneurs looking for tax subsidies and beneficial regulations.
