what are the chances something like that could happen in my lifetime?

Zero.
But if we do nothing, it will still be bad.
It won't be a Hollywood style disaster. Gradually coastal areas will flood and agriculture will be damaged. Rich countries will cope, but it will take huge amounts of money. In poor countries many people will die of starvation, but not all of them.
Most scientists say, in 20-50 years. But we need to start right now to fix it, fixing it will take even longer than that.

How old are you? If your still young there might be a chance for you to experience that. If you observe the world, it is already in risk because of global warming and if we don't take actions regarding this you may have the chance to experience that disaster.

On a scale of 0-10 I say -0.

Yup... And while I DOUBT such an extreme scenario is like you happen in ANY of our present lifetimes, even something like that happening in relative "slow motion"- is terrifying. The bottom line IS; the human race is PHYSICALLY altering our atmosphere with his daily activities... And unless we start REDUCING the impact we're having on our Environment- our "Environment" is going to start INCREASING its "impact"- on US !!! :(

It will probably happen in a hundred years or so. maybe by then we'll have discovered other planets much like our own so that we don`t all perish from environmental disasters. think about it, if global warming kills everyone, our race is over for good. but then that brings us to religion, and time. we must have not existed at one stage, so how did we come to be a race.
makes you wonder doesnt it.
