Climate change will make COVID seem adorable.

It won't make much difference. It can even make things even more difficult for a transition. The truth is, no one knows how to face the fact that the society we've created needs to change drastically, quickly, and with no guarantee that it will make much of a difference in the next 100 years.
Unless a miracle happens that alters human behavior by making us more cooperative, fairer, and smarter, it is just a dream to imagine that we can avoid the collapse that has already begun.

The climate change is creating the extensive weather patterns, with large numbers of floods, droughts, high temperatures, Hurricanes, and depletion of environment across the globe ; However, IPCC report in this year further alarm's us from the ballooning wave of uneven climatic events due to increase in pollution owing to unconventional human activities that impends the way of clean environment ; Moreover, the green house gas emissions are going up every year in one way or other, where, rich countries of global North are using the nonrenewable resources to function their economic development at the expense of such a terrifying tendency ; Hence, it is suffice to say that current situation looks gloomy in the foreseeable future if prompt action should not be taken, and it's a responsibility of every nation state to implement the road map to minimize the emissions of gases by adopting the renewable resources for their energy consumption ; Otherwise, it will be too late to manage the catastrophic events which are occuring in many parts of world
