      I think that unless we do something *radical* soon (as in now!) we will experience overheating (and serious troubles) within our lifetimes!

      Most of agreements of global politicians and organisations are giving us 2050 as a deadline… which is pretty soon!

      That’s a great question, it’s something I worry about a lot too.
      Some scientists have said that if we carry on as we are, in about 100 years a few areas in the world might start to get so hot in summer that even humans won’t be able to survive.
      But there are plenty of plants and animals that are already in real trouble now and will start to die out much sooner than that if we don’t change the way we are living.

      From what I have read, experts say between the years 2040-2050. Already we are experiencing warmer summers

      Not that many! Unless we start changing the way we act, it will likely be in our lifetimes that we will see the Earth heat up too much.
