It isn't going to render the entire world non-arable
The ridiculous amount of people who cluster around the equator are probably going to be fucked, yes

>billions of people are going to die

I get what you mean. It's not like we're facing total human extinction; but it is going to suck. It's going to suck so much that wars are going to start because people are going to find out how much it's going to suck.
Hope we don't nuke each other over drinking water.
global cooling is way worse tho
I tend to think of things a little more globally than just regionally. Half of humanity will adapt fine, the other half is in for a rough ride.
I guess it's disaster for the humanitarian minded. The most powerful countries on the planet aren't going to have as hard a time though so I doubt it's going to cause world war as much as a panic/exodus situation that will probably lead to demographic upheaval.
No, we are currently in an ice age that has been going on for millions of years. Ice age simply means that there is ice at the poles.
The temperature hasn't changed this much this quickly since humans existed. We are dependent on an ecology and infrastructure built for this specific climate. We are not reverting back to anything humans or the current ecology have ever experienced, and our understanding of the climate and the earth tells us that on the whole this will have negative consequences. No one is saying it's the end of the world, it's just bad for us.
If anything, our history and migration patterns suggest to me that we are not particularly "dependent" on any particular climate that isn't categorically deadly (average temp under -17 C or over 38 C)
Especially with modern knowledge and technology
I haven't seen any model that predicts our entire world is going to burn up, just that the equatorial zone will become generally unbearable
but then again there are maniacs living in Qatar so
Excuse me, what? Yes it does.
The omnipotent arbiter of causality has arrived
You have a point but that will cost tens of trillions of dollars. All so a few old oil men can keep making money
It's sucks no matter how you spin it.
So which do you deny, basic physics or chemistry?
