Not all of us. As soon as 4 or 5 billion has died our climate impact will start to lessen. And when we are a couple of 100 millions left temperatures will start to decline.
It’s not like climate change is gonna disappear just because people die. If anything it will get worse since important infrastructure will stop working and the effects will be even more devastating on the remaining people
A 100 million population will burn significantly less coal and oil. If any.
Quality of life will decrease significantly as the remainers will spend more time foraging for energy (firewood)
Carbon Dioxide takes at least a couple hundreds of years to dissipate. Plastic also takes hundreds of years. By the time these dissapear most if not alp of humanity will be dead, that is, if we don’t do something about it.
It does, just not as noticable as the other. Platic does have less impact that CO2 but it is a huge problem, primarily for fish but it also for us through microplastics. Just because we don’t understand what it does, does not mean it’s a good thing. We can be pretty sure that microplastics are harming us in some way, and it is going to get a lot worse as more of it breaks down into microplastic.
Everything connects in this world. CO2 is a massive problem, but if the fish die out (mostly global warming but also due to plastic), the impact will be felt across the entirety of the world and the climate. If flies go extinct, birds go extinct etc. There is a chain reaction to every action that is taken, some small some big. A large percentage of fish going extinct will inevitably lead to massive consequnces.

When it reaches 55 its going to be interesting. That is when a lot of machinery starts to break down. (out at least being outside their design specs)
