in 2300 ? ... the worst global warming scenario does not say what happens after global population has collapsed.

SCENARIO (for 2300)	PROJECTED GLOBAL WARMING (°C)	CO~2~ CONCENTRATIONS (PPMV)
RCP2.6	0.0 to 1.2	360
RCP8.5	3.0 to 12.6	2000

i like the book series "Foundation" by Isaac Asimov where he describes rebuilding after collapse.

Not gonna share my AO3 handle but I get a fair amount of praise for my stream of non-human consciousness bits so (if it's your jam) I really encourage you to take a deep dive into sensory and processing differences between you and the animal you're attempting to depict. Its fascinating (or I'm a huge nerd lol).

As a semi-related example, a dog can have difficulty seeing a yellow ball against green grass due to red-green colorblindness, so you could also write an angry epistolary to just get a blue fucking ball already because nobody can fucking see that Jared.

[WP] You are interrupted when that phone chimes. You already know who it's from before opening the message. A hollow laugh escapes your lips as you realize they've doomed us all. (lemmy.world)
