Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think any (serious) high CO2 predictions involve the extinction of our species, but rather extensive displacement as a changing climate changes zones of habitability on our planet.



We're currently running a simulation to refute or confirm your assumption. Check back in some 150-200 years to see if your assumption was true.


Will do


If the human population reduced to 100m - still substantial - it's not technically extinction. But it's still essentially the end of our world and society. The people who died won't take solace in humanity not dying out.

Could we come back from it? Hard to say.
