Global warming it's, not doubt, a serious problem, but I don't think it will be a direct extinction thread to humanity. On the other hand, global warming, probably will have second order effects that make humanity extinction more probably. For example: it would make nuclear war more probable or investment in space more difficult. |

A warming planet as we've seen also makes viruses more prevalent as we invade natural habitats and expand to more food sources... (we may need to hunt all animals for food someday, including apes, tigers, monkeys, etc.. )...
Honestly, I think the best solution is a full stop on consumerism, and all industries and combine forces and resources to find a solution that will work like - a big effing huge solar shade that can cool off the planet and maybe put us in a small mini-ice-age to bring back some polar ice, and ice in antarctica and essentially reboot the global temps.
Carbon capture tech and methane capture will be important too, but the feedback loops are going to be what really speeds things up.
Warming planet also means more water evaporation, so we'll need to desalinate water just to be able to have drinking water for everybody. Water wars are going to be the biggest fights of the next 40 years.
