The poster said ‘a mass extinction’ which does not mean what you seem to think it does:
“An extinction event (also known as a mass extinction or biotic crisis) is a widespread and rapid decrease in the biodiversity on Earth.”

It seems very fair - even overly cautious! - to push the inevitability of that out to 2100 when many would say it is already in progress.
- nl 7y agoYou are right of course. However the OP said (in their original post): In short industrial civilization will be non-viable in the tropics by the 2050s and world wide by the 2100s. I took it in that context. I'd also note the there are multiple causes of mass extinction of which climate change is one.
