It totally sucks that I am living in the last decades of humanity, and that all life on Earth will probably be wiped out.

The largest extinction event in history -- the Permian-Triassic extinction event -- wiped out 96% of all marine species and 70% of all terrestrial vertebra species. Yet look at the Earth now -- chockful of life in all it's various forms.

Somehow, I don't think something as relatively minor as global warming is going to be the straw which breaks the Earth's back.

I disagree. Global Warming WILL destroy 100% of all living organisms on Earth within the next century. We have never seen this before; and science will probably confirm my worst fears a few years from now. They could predict a 10-12 C rise in temperature by 2100 instead of 4-6 C. We could see South America, Africa, and half of Asia rendered uninhabitable much sooner than we expect; maybe by 2030 or 2040. The news is getting progressively worse every year.

I guess that will be the end of us as human beings and the world as we know it, but don't worry since everything is a cycle and in a few million years the conditions may change and life will flourish again :) or maybe the world will remain a dirty lifeless rock ball until the sun runs out of Hydrogen and bye-bye solar system :(

Anyways... ''carpe diem'' ;)
