It's going to get that hot eventually. Maybe 200 years from now and that's going to probably push people underground.
I think that's the main problem with global warming.
We'll all die before it has any real world effect on us.
Eventually, most definitely. But not 200 years from now. Possibly 200 million years from now, more like one or two billion years from now. You are being quite extreme in alarmism. Such shrillness does not lend credibility to actually good science.
Such a rise will not be possible with currently active means of climate change. Even the most powerful, once in half billion years, temperature change events found in geological record, can’t get us more than a fraction there. It requires the combination of gradual, long term on astronomical time scale, increase in solar radiance, and feed back green house effect resulting from ocean boiling off and filling the atmosphere with water vapor.
Between humans, and other forms of life, considering the 5 mass extinction events in earth's 4 billion years, for humans to stupidly think we can survive forever is absurd. All we can do in cosmic time, is try to extend our ride. But even on a daily individual level, the individual human still has to ultimately face their own mortality.
