remember that the end of the world has been caluclated many, many times now. sometimes with vibes, sometimes with actual data, and so far it hasn't happened, somehow we keep on persevering despite everything
however sure you are of your estimates, the world is to chaotic to ever truly know
I think there have definitely been times more grim than this, and we somehow made it through. Climate is a cycle, sometimes a change, life will go along with it, perhaps in another form, until the sun cannot sustain it anymore.
I agree with your comment on every point. We can't ever know, and I think no matter how much data you collect you can't know for sure what ideas or agreements will happen in 20 years' time. Unless someone promises to nuke the planet in 20 years of course. Then again someone might probably assassinate that mf.
