A list of things that can go wrong

- the wind patterns on Earth change, resulting in climate change. Seasons will alter. Rains will be affected. Widespread famines and floods.

- Point 1 rendering a lot of solar and wind energy farms unusable.

- Less sunlight results in less photosynthesis. This again causes chimate change, loss of biodiversity.

What else?



Civilization collapses shortly after the ocean ecosystem, as acidification continues on up. Then, CO2 levels off as input falls off. Over millennia, CO2 declines. Over millions of years, biodiversity recovers.
