Since there seems to be an increase in how fast the globe is warming

[moof]

How will it end for the humans.
Try to think semi long term.
There have been findings recently that the point of no return for carbon dioxide saturation is now only 9 years away. Can any biologists/scientists here speculate on how the end will manifest itself for the humans?
The unscientific thinking here at the moof hut is that some sort of slow motion suffication will take place.
If the free oxygen supply is slowly destroyed by way of the ocean becoming dead then as the human excess lung capacity and body's ability to increase red blood cells to accomadate the lesser oxygen content of the atmosphere is reached humans will simply die out along with any other animals that require oxygen ?

Any thoughts as to how the end will come ?

This is not about politics, it's about ignorance. While it would be nice to think it's not too late, it looks like fate may have been sealed several decades ago with the destruction of big city mass transit systems in America. The point to which there is one is how will humans become extinct given the current apparent glidepath.

1. Its all about Evolution....which is related to your subject

Our Human Brain has not evolved very much since the Cro magnon Days...

while our technology has very much...


There is only one way to avoid Extinction...at least prolong the survival period that is,

World Peace on a Sustainable World....

There is no Reason why this cannot work and if we do...Viola...

If we continue our Level One days...Destiny...we lose

If we somehow come to our senses...give Opportunity a try...we win...

2. Massive famines followed by epidemics

The real danger of the carbon dioxide saturation is that global warming might run amok. Long before the oxygen runs out and anything starts suffocating, global warming will cause massive famines--either from current agricultural land turning to desert, or from global warming triggering an ice age. Most of the people in industrialized areas will starve. Of course, the leaders of the desertifying/newly ice-covered (take your pick) countries will wage wars to get whatever land is still useful; there will be massive chaos as the thin veneer of civilization chips away. Then, after the massive die-offs from starvation, and after the wars, there will be a lot of corpses around, and epidemics will rage.

In the long term, the biosphere will replentish the oxygen in the atmosphere until it nears its present levels. Humans will probably even survive, in isolated populations around the equator.

I expect that the eventual extinction of humans will be the result of an asteroid or comet impact, or a supervolcano.

3. Oxygen deprivation won't be a problem.

Plants, which are benefitting from warmer temperatures and increased CO2 will grow and thrive and prosper.

And one of their little byproducts is... oxygen.

So, unless we manage to destroy all the big, spreading, large leafed trees in every biome, plants will give enough O2.

4. the land based plants are not enough now

with the ocean dead there will not be enough oxygen generated.

5. drought, famine, storms, disease

Fungus eventually becomes the dominant form of life like the Permian-Triassic extinction event. If plants can't get their act together fast enough, then O2 depletion takes place after humans are mostly gone.
