      I believe it would because the conditions to maintain life on earth would be gone. The earth would be too hot or too cold.

      It’s a good question and I don’t think anyone knows the answer for sure.
      I think probably not. Humans can use technology to adapt very quickly to changing conditions, and scientists are trying to make sure that global warming doesn’t go that far.

      I think if we might not directly make ourselves extinct from global warming but indirectly, the situation might lead to further problems, like crop failures -> famine; resource scarcity and pollution -> wars; rise in oil prices -> more poverty.

      As a society, we all need to rethink our politics and technology in the next several years, as putting the action till later might be too late!

      If we dont do anything about it then probably yes. But that is why scientists are looking into ways we can change what is happening.
