Shifting baselines over the two centuries of fossil-fuel profligacy create the illusion of the current “normal”, highly abnormal in any longer perspective.

Yet in terms of climate we have to address “new normals”, as noted in The New Climate Dice: Public Perception of Climate Change

Indeed considering just one parameter, methane release, a title in Arctic News reads:

Global Extinction within one Human Lifetime as a Result of a Spreading Atmospheric Arctic Methane Heat wave and Surface Firestorm

“Once the world’s ice caps have completely melted away at temperatures above 22.49°C and times later than 2051.3, the Earth’s atmosphere will heat up at an extremely fast rate to reach the Permian extinction event temperature of 80°F (26.66 °C), by which time all life on Earth will have been completely extinguished.”

This does not take into consideration the other already-triggered feedback loops, each of which will synergistically amplify the process.

In the meantime, those more concerned about economics may peruse:

While those who are concerned with care of the sick and injured in a time of resource constraints may find useful:
