To directly answer the specific question ask I think that that sort of thing IS a singularity in the sense that it’s a point in time that current rules and understandings do not let us see through. There is simply no amount of theorizing that will let you look from now through that sort of event to what is on the other side. There are climatological impacts beyond the article referenced, political effects, etc. Too much depends on the response from inside the developed nations. Do they focus on technological solutions to the problems? Do they waste precious time blamestorming and second guessing? Do they turn their back on that part of the world and “let nature take it’s course”?
Too hard to guess, the current practices and attitudes break down in the gravity of that sort of event.
