I am predicting that by the year 2040 it will be well known that mankind is going extinct, and we will be busy with predictions as to how and approximately about how it will play out.

It is certainly not that this is what I wanted. This is so opposite from what I focused on working towards, but facts are facts and this is what is going on.

There are a number of persons and groups predicting the demise of mankind, and calculating chances of which way we will go extinct. I think most, if not all, are pointing to climate change as bringing the end. And I would not disagree. I don't think many people think we will survive until the sun goes supernova, burns out, or whatever.

And technically we could have prevented climate change or drastically slowed it down, but that is not what we want. Unless of course we do not have to change our greedy consuming lifestyles to do so, thus impossible.

Of course there are very few isolated tribes of humans who cannot be included, but almost everyone on earth is contributing to climate change as well as a plethora of other environmental destruction.

Further I expect around 2040 earthquakes will be clearly occurring more or becoming more severe or both. And I expect occurring in unexpected places. As the thin layer that is the earths crust warms up, it becomes more fluid. So areas that might slip can slip easier, the ground will "flow" more creating more areas that can lead to earthquakes. Clearly I'm just guessing here. Maybe I'll find some solid information on this area and I will post that here. But so far it seems earthquake activity is generally the same on average each year for as long as we've been recording them.

I'll post links on new stuff, and I have old links saved somewhere.

Two different predictions about the percentage of mankind that will still be alive at 2050. One was like 80%, the other 50%. Or something.

One clear prediction, but maybe a sensationalizing more than summation of the actual prediction, was about the earth becoming uninhabitable within 30 years. 30 years from when I read that would have been shortly before 2050, and the predictions were earlier than what I read so earlier than that.

What are your predictions, and ones you know of, as to how this is going to play out? Please share that.

Other than above mentioned (and the links when I find them), I only have this one, in Dutch :
https://toekomstnederland2040.nl/verwachtingen/klimaat-en-natuur/

1. daily weather becomes more difficult to predict accurately
2. daily weather prediction efforts require major recalculation of formulas and methods for predictions
3. climate refugees predominant
4. climate refugees become most populous refugee group
5. regularly updated maps of migration of humans and animals in response
6. regularly updated maps of unlivable areas to avoid or flee from
7. recognize universally it is the end, and start considering how to spend our last few years
8. suicide becomes acceptable
9. suicide becomes encouraged
10. killing in the name of population reduction

And also I had thoughts about food production falling apart. Different sorts of food will become too difficult to produce or expensive in terms of the space required from areas still usable. At some point it might be impossible to produce enough food to feed everyone, even if it was being distributed to all.

Lots of things that might happen, it's hard to guess now. But not in 2040 I expect. 

As far as counting the number of people who have died as part of climate change or the ultimate extinction from that, how ever you look at it, I disagree with those who are already counting.

The people they are counting now died to due situations, usually of their own creation, and could have been prevented, or might have happened anyway.

People are going extinct when they cannot flee fast enough to inhabitable areas. The current starvation in the world is not due to a lack of food, but how food is distributed. And to me, one of the more ridiculous cases is counting people as dying from climate change because they refused to evacuate their homes for a fire that was either caused by or made worse by climate change. They could have fled and lived. That is not going extinct, that is needless and baseless suicide.

The only big hoop I have at the moment is AI. Not that it will calculate technology to solve this, that is not possible I expect, but that it can figure how to convince all of mankind to immediately completely change and focus on survival of the planet and ourselves. Not expecting that, just hoping.
