This statement is rather questionable: "Humans, along with most other animals, will go extinct before the end of this century."

While I'd read more to see their reasoning, I'd doubt even endangered is a stretch within 2100. Unless they predict an event like meteor strike, there are well adapted communities living off in remote, extreme conditions with very little reliance on modern civilization. Even in a wide collapse of our soceity, many of them might still still scrape by.

I quite agree and recommend everyone give this a read.

Do you have any objection to my pinning this post to the top?

I didn't know that the IPCC was an international form subject to influence from delegates interested in shifting blame, but Sam Hall does a good job explaining why we may end up with a worse outcome than had been modeled before.

I don't think that humans will go extinct, even if most of our systems fail, insects mostly disappear, plankton dissolve, and we experience 10C warming over 1500 years.
