You have a greater chance of getting killed by environmental extremists than by global warming.
No joke...if they thought they could get away with killing everyone who doesn't believe in global warming, many would.

The truth is you will die long before the Earth becomes like Venus.

Fortunately the people who said we are going to die are people who know nothing about global warming and climate change.
Provided you live in a developed country you don't have much to worry about, it's the developing countries (LEDC's) that have been hardest hit because they have neither the resources nor finances to mitigate the effects of global warming.
At present global warming kills 150,000 people a year according to the World Health Organisation, the figure is expecxted to rise to a million a year by the end of the century which is still considerably less than the odds of dying in a traffic accident.
The planet has a maximum average global temperature of about 35°C, currently it's just below 15°C so there's plenty of scope for it to get a lot warmer than it is. Even if it reached it's maximum temp (it won't but assuming it did) humans would be able to adapt and survive. It would mean that half the planet would be uninhabitable and the remainder would be like Equatorial Africa but we'd get by.

Well it wont be like venus but the whole atmospheres going to change for way worse .... there wont be ice caps left the oceans are going to rise abt 20 ft so miami and san diego and all current shore line cities will be under water ... the average temp will rise anywhere from 3 to 10 degrees .... precipitation will shift ... flooding in the north drought in the dust bowl .... well have 30% less food growing can u imagine how much that is?? think about what the future brings if we dont make simple changes

If you are planning to live for a couple of million years, you will probably see many of the changes now forecast. I won't be around then, but my descendants might, so I would like to leave a world behind that is going to give them the quality of life I enjoy now. And if I can reduce the damage that is being done to my environment (if I do my bit and others do too) that is even better.
What do I enoy that I would like my descendants to have? Clean water, green fields, fresh non-GMO food, enough sunshine and rain to allow crops to grow, and everything ripening in due season so we don't go hungry. And good health. And too much more to list here.
If Earth becomes like Venus someday, it won't be in your lifetime. If you die early, it will be for some other reason. But many people live now past the age of 100 years. Why not you too?

This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000. -- Lowell Ponte "The Cooling", 1976
If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year 2000...This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age. -- Kenneth E.F. Watt on air pollution and global cooling, Earth Day (1970)
What we've got to do in energy conservation is try to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have approached global warming as if it is real means energy conservation, so we will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental policy. -- Timothy Wirth, former U.S. Senator (D-Colorado)
If radical environmentalists were to invent a disease to bring human populations back to sanity, it would probably be something like AIDS -- Earth First! Newsletter
Human happiness, and certainly human fecundity, is not as important as a wild and healthy planets...Some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along. -- David Graber, biologist, National Park Service
The collective needs of non-human species must take precedence over the needs and desires of humans. -- Dr. Reed F. Noss, The Wildlands Project
If I were reincarnated, I would wish to be returned to Earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels. -- Prince Phillip, World Wildlife Fund
Cannibalism is a "radical but realistic solution to the problem of overpopulation." -- Lyall Watson, The Financial Times, 15 July 1995
ALL USEFUL IDIOTS of GREEN PARTY , DEMS LEFTYS SOCIALIST
SO the ANSWER to YOUR QUESTION IS THEY WANT a CARBON TAX to tax evil OIL Corporations DEM Senator DODD. that means trickle down to you $6.00 a gallon Gas Higher food prices TRUCKS deliver food run on FUEL,higher electric they will build NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS its a low carbon foot print

Venus' temperature is about 450 degrees.........
Now, the Global Warming people put a lot of faith in the recent scientists of 125 nations UN report .
The WORST CASE this report..mind you the WORST......global warming unchecked, no one does anything......is
2 degrees rise in temperature
2 foot rise in sea level.
This is from the report written by the most concerned scientists.
Now, are you still worried?

This is true, eventually we are going to die. However we will continue to live until that day comes. So for for now just enjoy your life.

You won't die. The Earth won't become like Venus. Global warming is not going to kill people who live in rich countries.
But the expense of dealing with unreduced global warming (mostly coastal flooding and damage to farming) will make rich countries poor. You won't die, but your life will be harder.
In poor countries some people will die of starvation (because of damage to farming and inability to pay for imported food) but not all.
We won't all die. But unreduced global warming will be very bad.
