Thats not going to happen. Some areas will become more habitable, some less. Even if all the ice caps on the planet melted into the sea there would still be plenty of land mass to live on.

"As we know it" is the key phrase in my opinion. The Earth would continue to exist and some new form of life would take over, but we could be one of the species wiped out in the next mass extinction. Many people think we're above all of that and can survive anything thanks to our technology, but the ecosystem is more fragile than people realize, and we're not prepared to handle every scenario. For example, if the air became unbreathable, do you really think we'd all be able to live out the rest of our lives breathing oxygen from tanks? There wouldn't be enough to go around. The previous mass extinctions were all brought about by natural phenomena, but why should we push our luck by tipping the balance toward catastrophe? Even if we're only partially responsible for climatic changes, that's an unnatural part that could affect the entire balance of nature.

I think we'll wipe out the Earth with nuclear winter before that happens. Just think-- if Global Warming causes coastlines to rise and inland water to dry up, what is going to be done by the people who now need land to live on and water to drink? They will have war over it.

I'm happy there are so many people who see the scam of manmade global warming. I really think the concerts drew the wrong kind of attention to the "cause". People saw the hypocracy of all those artists. To me, the band that came out best was The Arctic Monkeys.

Yes, it's possible that positive greenhouse gas feedback will overwhelm natural sequestration effects. This is still very uncertain. But the even the (fairly cautious) IPCC models predict very serious increases in temperature at the top end of likely models, increases of 5.8 C in a century, with more to come the century after that. This will result in mass extinctions, and quite possibly human giga-deaths.

NO WAY...earth has been going through cycles of heating and cooling (global warming and ice age) since the beginning of time.all of our ancestors have had to adapt,and we can certanly adapt even better with our technology

Not me. It's been hotter before and the Earth did just fine.

No way there data doesn't support it. Global warming is a scam and people like Gore will make millions from it.
