      That’s one I don’t think anybody could answer exactly. My guess would be that we kill off enough wildlife, forest and plantlife to end a lot of human life first. You see this in nature naturally – if you don’t have predators then the animals overpopulate, run out of food, and then return to numbers they can upkeep. Perhaps humans would do the same with damage to the environment?

      Doing a bit of research, I found an interesting article in a newspaper called the Guardian – some parts of the Earth could potentially become uninhabitable within the next 100 years because of the heat from global warming.
