    Nothing we could conceivably do could ever possibly prevent that entirely. Shit is going to get BAD no matter what we do. We are still maybe able to prevent our extinction/near-extinction in the coming centuries. But famine and disease will be rampant once again in every country. Borders will be guarded with machine guns that are used liberally in many modern western countries.

        Well think it through. Even if the world heats up by 10°C, Antarctica will still be at a livable temperature. People will eek out an existence there like living on Mars, with greenhouses and suits to go outside. It won’t last forever though. Civilization collapse within 50 years, but full extinction will take some time.

            I have considered it as a reason his masters planted that in his head, yes. Or it could just be something he said once and then dementia latched on to it.
