>the results are unimaginably disastrous.< Imo they are imaginably disastrous. Sea level up an easy ten meters - coastal cities gone. Either by abandonment or by storms breaching increasingly precarious seawalls. Climate patterns remodeled - breadboxes become deserts. Some deserts become breadboxes? Tundra becomes grassland. "Banner" species" like apes and pandas gone. Coyotes and crows have a field day. Mass dislocations of humans result - and this after serious economic collapse. People die of poverty, famine. Farming becomes a big deal again! Thirst! Water will be the great commodity, and brushfire wars will be fought with machetes and atom bombs. The period 1900-2050 becomes remembered as a golden age like the Roman Apogee two millennia prior. Armstrong becomes legend like Columbus. While civilization probably won't gutter and die - it'll certainly be slowed. It'll be another three hundred years before low Earth orbit becomes interesting again. I expect computers to stay with us - at least with the aristocracy. There will be such. In the meantime - expect to see violently reactionary and conformist religious/Luddite theocracies become a major form of government.
