> At the same time, global electricity generation from both natural gas and coal is expected to remain flat over the next three years.
Wouldn’t we want to see these declining steeply to have much optimism for 2050?

From my reading, it seems that eating less meat, particularly red meat, is the best way to reduce your impact. So much of deforestation is to grow soy, corn, etc for animal feed. Not to mention space for those animals to graze.

I’ve read about it a lot. The key word is “if”. We can still make changes in the present to mitigate the impacts. I’m certain we will see some catastrophic events and many extinctions but we may still prevent the very worst that would unfold if we did nothing at all.

Don’t be a doomer. It’s unproductive.

Try not to fall into the “will” mentality. Vote, research, create, communicate, volunteer, whatever you can to switch this to a “might”.
