(7,664 posts)43. Doomsday scenario:
The global heating will pick up pace.
Weather extremes will get worse.
Large parts of the globe will slowly become uninhabitable.
Wars will be fought over what we take for granted now - the basics, like living space, reliable water and food sources.
Humanity will look back at how things were 50 years ago and realise that then was the pinnacle of civilization.
100 years from now: only small groups of humans remain.
You have all seen the disaster movies and imagined yourself amongst the survivors . . . the reality will be different.
The planet will go 'Ho-Hum, I can fix this with most of those pesky human parasites gone. Give me a few million years to get all that carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere again.'

Texas A&M scientists predicted this would happen in 20-25 years. That was less than five years ago.
