Actually the result of global warming is supposed to be another ice age. So get out your mukluks and earmuffs! In about fifty thousand years!

Global warming will never make the Earth too hot to live on.
It's not a movie style catastrophe. It's damage to agriculture and coastal flooding.
That will cost rich countries their wealth to cope with. People will still live there, but they'll be a lot poorer.
In poor countries a lot of people will die of starvation, but not all.
50-100 years for the worst to hit, at the rate we're going. Serious problems before that, maybe 20 years.

Probably until the sun expands. This is not to say it won't get hotter in the near term, it probably will, but it will not get "too hot to live" for several billion years.
Rumor, the average global temperature is not rising 2 degrees a year. It has in fact not risen two degrees in the past 100 years. The current trend, in existance from about 1965 is at a rate of 0.02 degrees per year. Maybe you misplaced the decimal point.

It will, eventually, pass.
There IS a 26,000 year warming-&-cooling, Cycle'
you see.. We may, for an extremely LONG time -be forced,
underground; but it will, eventually pass.. -of course,

hmmmmmmmmmm
I'm looking forward to the 90F climate in NH Winters I think.
I think like a 10F ave distance in our lifetimes
an ice age every 10K years or so I think, then desertification
