Meanwhile, history shows that periods of instability and crisis can provide fertile ground for rapid, positive change. This is the other side to derailment risk.
The conditions for doom loops also provide opportunities to accelerate virtuous circles. For example, out of the crises of the interwar period and the devastation of the second world war came legal protections for human rights, universal welfare systems and decolonisation. More recently, the first Trump administration spurred new waves of climate activism.
Great positive message.
“When the world is actively murdering us, maybe we’ll finally see some positive change for a few select oppressed groups.”
The world isn’t actively murdering us.

You just kinda linked to the IPCC website. Care to expand on what you’re hoping I get from that
I linked the AR6 report since you haven’t read it.
That rapid change can be caused by or result in massive upheaval and damage.
Just like it mentions WW2. It’d be great if that didn’t have to happen, though.
