    Stop spreading this extinction misinformation. Climate change is not expected to cause anything like that for humans. WWII killed 50,000,000 people but then kicked off the most productive period and rapid population growth in all history. To my knowledge, climate change has not been seriously predicted to kill that many people.

      your comparison is pretty weak. WWII killed only 3% of the world's population - by far not the deadliest event in human history. dinosaurs were around for 165M years. humans have been around for 200k? and we've only been destroying plant and animal ecosystems (on which we depend) at industrial scales for a few hundred years? you seem very confident that we have a bright future because WWII didn't wipe us out 75 years ago and we've been expanding our abuse of resources ever since? i think humans will be around for a while, but not for 10 million years and certainly not at present population levels.
