Nobody knows, we can make predictions but the further into the future those predictions go the less reliable they become.

When we predict global temperatures 100 years into the future we have to assign a range, typically between 2 and 4°C warmer than now. 200 years into the future and that range expands to anywhere between 3 and 7°C.

One thing about global warming is that if we continue as we are now then the warming in the future will slow down considerably but not before temperatures have risen quite a bit. The reason being that for each additional unit of greenhouse gas that's added to the atmopshere the amount of warming it causes reduces.

On the assumption that nothing changes (it will, but to keep it simple) then temperatures in 1000 years could be close to 20°C warmer than they are now. This would be a worrying prospect because it would put the average global temperature at about 35°C and throughout history this has been the point at which the planet's self-regulating mechanisms have kicked in and brought about a new ice age.

If temperatures were ever to reach this sort of level we'd have a world where half of it was uninhabitable and the population would have migrated far from the Equatorial regions as they'd all be desert. It would put massive strains on resources and we'd effectively have population overload where the planet was incapable of providing for our basic needs, especially food.

However, 1000 years is a mightly long time and long before that we should have been able to overcome the problem of global warming - either by adapting or developing ways of dealing with the problem.

I am optimistic and I visualize everything in top order for human living with comforts are extremely unbelievable with the dramatic achievements and attainments in the Science, Engineering and Technology! Man has colonized fully the Moon and so also several other planets and its moons! There is no government and there is no currency anywhere and the whole world has become an orderly living organizational society! We have the solar energy to light up the whole world and to run all the plants in the world! Many more....

after 1000 yrs of what? living this way, there would be an incredibly amount of pollution, wars over resources, poor health, a huge amount of extinct and endangered animals.
if humans as a whole decide to change the way we live in this world (that does not mean losing all comfort) and become more aware of what we are doing and how our actions affect the environment and other species surrounding us, we could easily survive the next 1000 years is a happy, healthy sustainable way.

Biological life will be over, unless we change the following:

-Switch from sewage systems to composting toilets.

-Eliminate the use of plastics. (We wrap EVERYTHING up in plastic, are individually wrapped cheese slices really necessary?) Are we insane or just plain apathetic?

-Make petroleum based cars illegal to buy new. That way, however gradual, gasoline will be weaned away from North American society.

And even still, there are other threatening aspects, for instance, did you know that the moon gravitates two inches further away from Earth every year? If we lose the moon, Earth will spin off its axis! And what if the sun burns out?!

Ahhhh! Run for your lives!

I might be a dreamer, but I hope it will be a more sustainable world where we've learned to live in harmony with nature and the resources we've got.

On second thoughts: Yes, I'm definitely a dreamer....

Worst case scenario: Several degrees warmer, signifigantly less land above water (but no "Waterworld" scenario). Radically altered climate with more extreme and unpredictable storms. Most life would adapt, humans almost certainly. There would be mass extinctions, mostly of species that rely on brackish and tidal areas, such as marshes.

Best case scenario: Not much different than today.

OMG! I never thought about 1000 years after i dont even think we are gonna b alive???there's is probably going to be trillions and trillions of people right?. but why should we worry were not even gonna b alive!

Everyone alive now would be dead. Genealogists will be trying to figure out who among us were their ancestors. The world will be full of 12-15 billion people who love their climate just the way it is, just like we do now.

What fun question. I think this world will devoid of human life. We are are own worst enemy, like a snake that starts eating itself at its tail and eventually, nothing is left.
