in 2300 ? ... the worst global warming scenario does not say what happens after global population has collapsed.

SCENARIO (for 2300)	PROJECTED GLOBAL WARMING (°C)	CO~2~ CONCENTRATIONS (PPMV)
RCP2.6	0.0 to 1.2	360
RCP8.5	3.0 to 12.6	2000

i like the book series "Foundation" by Isaac Asimov where he describes rebuilding after collapse.
