Climate change not only changes how we live and where we live but also "Whether we live at all"

 World Migrations are increasing where people are moving now just to stay alive at all. Though it's possible migrations have temporarily been halted over borders because of coronavirus, still there is this desperation to eat and to stay alive and to survive at all.

There are places like the Amazon Rain Forest where so much land is being burned that it will never recover to be Rainforest likely ever again (within the next 100 to 500 years at least) where coronavirus and burning is so changing the landscape and lifestyles that is is a human complete disaster at least or the Native South Americans who live there.

The Climate reckoning is also coming in the U.S. and in places like Canada and Alaska as well. Even when I last traveled to Hawaii I noticed that the main road from Kahului Airport to Lahaina had to be moved upwards several hundred feet because the ocean is now often at high tide and during storms the waves break directly onto the lower roads near Lahaina in between Kihei and Lahaiana. As the seas rise roads will be under water more worldwide as well.

So, climate change is happening not just in 3rd world countries causing desperate migrations of human survival but also in 1st and 2nd world nations as well. 

The fires and hurricanes and flooding and tornadoes and other extreme weather both cold and warm like Blizzards, lightning strikes etc. Are markedly making life more difficult to survive in for not only humans but for all species on earth.

In the end we are in the 6th Great Extinction where even humans aren't entirely sure whether they won't be one of the species going extinct during the next few hundred years.

The Holocene extinction, otherwise referred to as the sixth mass extinction or Anthropocene extinction, is an ongoing extinction event of species during the present Holocene epoch (with the more recent time sometimes called Anthropocene) as a result of human activity.
