Do you think global warming will be the end of humanity/civilization,

we'll just evolve to live in higher co2 environments, that's what natural selection is for anyway

i'm excited to see the rest of canada become habitable

Just move to higher elevations, or toward the poles, where it's cooler.

Yeah, it's a pain the in the ass to have big cities like Miami end up like Atlantis.

But that process will take decades to play out -- enough time to build replacement cities at higher elevations, or nearer the poles.

Plus there's no reason to think that if equatorial land gets hotter it won't be usable for agriculture. We've already shown that some crops can be genetically engineered to grow at temperatures that are over 10C higher than normal -- we'll obviously commercialize that research if necessary. Plus you've got all those new lands closer to the poles that open up for agriculture. And you've got all that nice warm equatorial ocean water for saltwater aquaculture -- and warmer oceans are known to be conducive to higher concentrations of biomass due to their increased thermal energy.

Really, it's just replacing one set of species with another, or displacing them farther up or farther to the poles. It doesn't mean the end of humanity -- it just requires some adjusting.

Were in a interglacial period and when that ends we'll enter another ice age. better stock up on a lot offirewood.

The next iceage isn't happening within our lives, nor our children's. Stockpiling firewood now would be a waste.

We'll adjust. 7 billion will become 7 million.

We will go the path of and become the Morlocks.

I think people underestimate how damn hard it is to kill of the entirety of humanity. When people speak in these terms, what they usually mean realistically is that a fuckton of people are going to die. But getting rid of every single last human isn't as easy as some environmental disruptions.

Pumping sulfuric acid into the upper atmosphere will solve climate change but we won't do that because there isn't a profit in it.

Not global warming, but climate change in general, as it naturally occurs over the planet's lifetime, will cause massive disruption and certainly change civilization, for better or worse.

It will not solve climate change, it will give us a few extra decades to cut emissions but it's a mere bandage, not a solution.

or maybe because we aren't fully aware of the potential side effects and unintended consequences
