The Planet will be fine. Weāre good at destruction, but not that good.
Weāll definitely take all life along with ours. Although there is a slim chance we could completely destroy the atmosphere and then earth will be another Venus.
We have known for decades and could stop the destruction at anytime we chose.
Heatwaves right across Europe. No significant rain for weeks here (looks like weāll get a monthās worth in a day on Friday 
), enormous forest fires inside the Arctic Circle in Sweden and massive fires in Greece. Dozens dead in Quebec from a heatwave. Flash floods and heatwave in Japan with hundreds dead and the highest temperatures ever recorded. Sydney, in winter is experiencing temperatures 8 degrees above the average.
Get used to it, this is looking like itās going to become much more commonplace 
Proper weather this year. Plenty of snow and cold in late Winter followed by plenty of sun in Summer. the tomatoes should be good this year if i can keep them watered.
Time to plant my lemon and olive trees?
Iāve come round to @Saint-or-sinner position. We are certainly doomed and thereās nothing we can do about it. The upside is that Iāve sat in my garden and enjoyed the sunshine more than I ever have. Weāre fucking tropical! Weāve not even booked a holiday this year. Who needs to go away when we got this? So, the planet is doomed but I reckon we got a good hundred years at least at which point Iāll be dead and so will all people Iāve met. Future people arenāt real people to me so Iām not fussed about them. Iām going to sit naked on my patio later and that wouldnāt have happened in the past .
Well, in Roman times they used to grow grapes in Scotland, could you do that now?
The horror
36 degrees here in France today. In and out of the pool to cool off. Just cracked open the second bottle of red, pizza from the wood fired oven later and then a game of boule. Keep spraying them aerosols guys.
Baking here in the Waterside. Nice sea-breeze to keep things bearable. Beer chilled in the fridge

Thatās the attitude @Fatso but 100 years?
āAs of 2017, average global temperatures had risen 1 C above pre-industrial levels, according to the document. If greenhouse gas emissions continue at their current pace, each decade is expected to bring another 0.2 C of warming ā triple the rate of 0.06 degree or so per decade from 1880 to 2012, a period that saw a cumulative 0.85 C rise.ā
So divide your 100 years by 3, then add the ever accelerating effects of all the other problems we cause(17 of the last 18 years have broken temp records).
Then you need to think about the wars. They burn energy like nothing else(worlds largest single polluter, the US military) and thereās going to be lots of them.
At least youāre stocking up on food.
I thought it was supposed to be hot here in UK.
I had to wear a vest today
Iām 59 years old. OK a lot of tgat was overseas, bit I had never seen a lightning strike.
Until Friday having a smoke outside my daughterās house BOOM a tree was hit 70m from me out of a clear sky.
Today? Sitting on the balcony clear sky BOOM It hit a tree across the road.
Never strikes twice?
Maybe Iāve just been having one of those weekendsā¦
Has he got a metal plate in his head or something
Surely he must have some super powers by now?
Another lovely day and another unexpected new title for humanity(3 months ago really and only certain (richer and more barbaric)parts of humanity).
Raise a glass one and all, weāve evolved from an almost simpleton like āplague speciesā into the far more advanced āoncogenic speciesā.
Yes, we are God like and now spread cancer like we spread single use plastic.

The blind, almost religious, idiocy of āmoreā strikes another blow to future life, so raise your 
.
Such a large rational cortex, so little rationality.
What went wrong?
The only downside of the article is that there are a couple of āmightsā thrown in there. Stated associations, but no peer reviewed āproofā
That makes me a tad uneasy, Iām assuming someoneās research grant budget is due for renewal (?) but Iām willing to be properly convinced.
If itās going to keep getting this hot we may be doomed.
can someone turn the worldās thermostat down a bit please?
Gradually cooling over the next weekā¦fear not dear lady.
