If that happens, it could make the majority of the earth hostile to humans in a relatively short timespan.
Do you think this will happen within 100 years? Yes or no.
Define “hostile to humans”
I have not seen any climate models that project substantial parts of inhabited earth will become less hospitable to human habitation in 100 years than ANY part of the earth which currently supports significant human population.
At worst, the total carrying capacity of the earth may decline to below the worst of what we project human population to be in 100 years. But that doesn’t make any particular part of the earth hostile to human habitation.
