Life doesn't exist without CO2. Plants nearly starved to death when PPM dropped to 180.
The rate of current change is stressful on organisms, to varying degrees; least of all to humans which readily adapt to changing environments.
All are ignorant, including the scientists. Some educated guesses about specific future conditions will be more accurate than others, but I will not exhibit false confidence about any of them.
1000 years ago, the compass was the new medieval invention. Who could have predicted what life would be like now? Likewise, I make no confident predictions about the next 1000 years.
I'm with Scott Adams on a general prediction of the dawning of the Golden Age.

Trying to power society off wind and solar is a fools errand.

Renewable power alone or fossil fuels alone means assured energy povery and both renewables and fossil fuels together also mean energy poverty, just not as dire.
Nuclear is the only energy source in abundance.

Although the media ignores or distorts any news that doesn't serve its agenda, it seems that Europe is beginning to suffer from eating too many energy greens. So now, Europe will be developing a bad case of gas pains as the new, approved Russian pipeline is stuck up its system.
I'll bet the Modern Czar running Russia is savoring his growing power over the Green Navel Gazers running Europe.
Maybe Animated Greta can help by blowing on the windmill blades instead of microphones.

As the rest of the world conforms to the Paris accord. China 🇨🇳 laughs and spits in the face of everyone...

China bans Australian coal ==> Australia stops shipping iron ore to China.
Coal mines in Northern China flood.
Their real estate market experiences a '2008'.
If they step out of line, India Vietnam Japan and Australia squash them like a bug with or without the good ol' USofA. (an objective, not a political, statement)
Wouldn't want to be them.
