      I meant more of the dictionary version of catastrophic. Sorry if it normally has or implies different meaning when talking about climate change.

          O, then what does the equal equal thing mean? Yea I thought major climate catastrophe was unavoidable even with a complete and immediate change by the entire world. Not that everyone would die in a climate apocalypse.

            It’s how people commonly type “does not equal” when they don’t have quick access to the not equal symbol. Your top level comment seemed to be contesting the meme, which claimed we still have 20 years to change before we all die. I was saying that 20 years before we all die is not the same as 20 years before a climate catastrophe.

      Catastrophic means basically we have to move farmland and we have to surround some cities with dikes as they’ll now be under sea level.

      We’re facing ecosystem collapses but that’s from overfishing and more direct habitat destruction, not so much from climate change.
