if we only have that time to save half of humanity, how much is already fucked no matter what?
A ton of things. Just check all of the places around the globe that have low or no food production or scarce water for starters. Also, places that are highly energy dependent such as car dependent suburbia might be desolated soon. The article also cites plenty of human system dynamics that could be thrown out of the window due to the "catabolic" collapse.
