Not Much, once the Tundra thaws out, so much CO2 will be released into the atmosphere that a cascade effect will occur which will turn the oceans, releasing the massive amounts of CO2 stored in deep ocean. The temperatures will rise to a point where life will not survive near the Equator and this will spread toward the poles quickly. It is then and only then, that the Right- wing in America will consider that Global Warming is a possibility.

Kay, assuming theres no meteors, famines, etc. We as a race have a little under 500 000 years remaining on the planet, Why you ask? Because when the earth formed the air was poison to us, the only reason it's not right now is because the plants of the earth took hold on our planet, and saturated the air with oxygen (ever nice eh?, maybe I should grow a flower), anyway, the plants of our planet are still continuing this saturation, and in a little under 500 000 years, this planets air will once again become toxic to us. Thus the end of one hell of a party!

Anywhere from 50 years to 50,000. Depends on how we adapt, and how soon we give up on dependance on artificial means to exist where we do not belong - nature tells us, and we respond by improvising an escape - air conditioning in Death Valley, irrigation in Arabia - PLEASE. We as the human race are the 'mould on the orange' a pestilence that will not leave this planet alone until we kill it. On the bright side - maybe we'll all do ourselves in first. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
