>Very Optimistic:
The majority of the heavily industrial nations and other polluting nations realize the threat and start working against it. We stay below the 2 degrees mark.
>Optimistic:
One part of the biggest polluters in the world will work against the threat that is the climate change. Major ecological problems do occur, but international aid is helping to contain it.
>Neutral:
Only a small fraction of nations are committed to finding a solution for this problem, short-term profit remains the goal for the world economy. Major ecological catastrophes will force poorer nations to either adapt to these changes or fail at the test of time. Humanity as a whole will survive and adapt as well.
>Pessimistic:
The projects that are meant to contain the changing climate do fail due to the lack of governmental support. Shortages of food and water in poorer regions will lead to brutal wars, industrialized nations will start isolating themselves, since no one really wants to waste resources on ending wars or accepting refugees if you are in the middle of a crisis yourself.
Humanity will eventually overcome these obstacles and adapt to the new climate, but at a great cost.
>Very Pessimistic:
Nobody is able to contain climate change nor is anyone actually interested. Shortages in food and water will lead to major wars that in turn lead to more refugees which in turn lead to more civil unrest and that will be the cause for more wars. We enter a dark age of famine, hatred, regression and darkness.
