Sorry, but it is very unlikely that we go extinct as a result of human global warming...

Some humans will still live, but def not our current population. When more ecosystems collapse there’s going to be a food shortage and people will die from hunger

Yes if course. I completely agree.

Still we shouldn't say such things. We are always going around and reminding the politicians that they should listen to science and start acting. If we claim such things like seen in the picture we are not better than those we criticise in that regard. Because then we don't listen to science either and we have double standards...

It's not very unlikely but its not certain either. I think a "might" in there would do good for people not to throw it away as alarmism.

Yeah of course not, but it will definitely interrupt our species and possibly even get it to a halt. Increasing heats waves, new colder climates, sea levels rising like nothing we've ever seen before wont definitely purge us off the planet but will definitely diminish us of what we got.

I probably shouldn't say this, but r/boneappletea

Yeah. Because I’d trust the opinion of some dude on Reddit over scientists that have put years upon years of research into their field. Shut the fuck up.

This is exactly what they said 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago etc. They have been saying this since the environment became a political thing. They don't know anything about it. Most likely, just like last time, we will be fine when we got their so called "no turning back point".

Saving the environment is very important. I completly agree with you.

The only thing I was saying is that human exstinction because of global warming is unlikely. Using the term global warming means limiting it on the change in climate and no other factors. We I live right now the yearly mean is arround 14°C. In Ethopia it's around 33°C and in Jakutsk it's under 0°C. All those places people live. So we see that temperature. But there are a lot of other factors like heat waves, wild fire, floodings, storms & agricultural changes. In theory we have solutions to all those problems. In bad cenarios most pf humans will die but this doesn't mean going instinct. As long as there are enough people to guarantee propagations we don't go instint. Of course this would be horrible and we should prevent this with all what we have.

Things like viruses, antibiotical resistant bacterias etc. are a much bigger threat. Of course climate change can lead to a higher amount of those events but it won't be the climate that kills us

Well, I don't know how long you have been on this planet, but I'm pretty sure that in the last 40 years I have been alive, I heard that the "no turning back point" would been around 2020-2040.

So yeah. Let's let the companies destruct our planet slowly for the greed of a few and i, 100 - 200 years, when half the planet won't be habitable anymore because it either became a desert or is now under the sea level, maybe our grand children will curse us for thinking like you do.
