No one knows for show if or when global warming will severely affect our climate, but the truth of the matter is that scientists recently found out that because the pollution in the air blocks some sunlight, that cools the Earth, so the two things negate one another.
Another thing that must be remembered is that the Earth goes in hot and cold cycles. Even without humanity, the climate would be ever-changing. Humans may not be affecting global temperatures much at all, not to mention that we lived through the last ice age, and could easily, with our technology make it through another.

Your question really doesn't have an answer. Global warming does exist, but is far too complex for any definite answers. An earthquake would be easier to predict than when the consequences of gobal warming really start to kick in. There will be many, such as water storages, more starvation in industrialized countries (the rest of the world, about 3 billion people, is already starving), the spreading of desert regions, continued acceleration of species extictions on land and in the oceans, deforestation, unstable weather patterns, regional and global conflicts, and the list goes on. The likelyhood of Nuclear weapons being used would increase because of widespread instability. In the end, I think our once beautiful Earth will look a lot like Mars, only more like a huge Martian garbage dump.

If we knew that we'd try to change it. It's not the world heating up that will kill us. It's the massive droughts and storms that mean we have no food, and then we will kill each other fighting over it that will be the problem.
The last estimate I heard was that in under 20 years the climate will be significantly different enough to put a serious strain on global resources. (mind you I heard on the news two nights ago that Antartica is melting twice as fast as predicted)
The real bummer is that what we do now, we won't see the effects of for another 30 years... so even if we stopped producing carbon dioxide now, it would still get worse before it got better.
I'm sure we won't all die. Just the poor, the old, the sick and the illiterate.

guess what, on a long enough time line we are all going to die, do you wanna know something else? Theres no such thing as global warming, it's a phrase paranoid scientist use to scare the "sheeple" (people that flock like a herd of sheep) yeah and the weather man doesn't know what it's gonna be like tomorrow either do you know why? because even after 4 years of college you don't know if half the planet is going to flood or fall apart. The heck with it, worry worts
