Of course by that time it will be too late to do anything about it...

As far as I can see, the scientists are pushing extrapolation to the limits (whether it be looking back OR forwards.)
There just isn't enough
hard evidence on past climate to allow future climate to be predicted. They even struggle to manage a 5-day forecast, so what chance they'll get anything this far in the future anywhere near right?
Also, if the fear mongers are to be believed, then it's already too late...
One of the problems is that we have no idea of knowing how the climate would have developed over the last 150 years if we hadn't had our input to it.
Whatever happens, somewhere on Earth some(thing) will survive, somehow and it will all start over again.
And no doubt the scientists of this future era will be just as baffled by the 'evidence' they find as current scientists are by what they've found.
P.S. Excuse me if I have overlooked any previous argument, but I can either catch up & read everything, or put in my 2p worth - there's just not enough time in the day now to do both.
