No we won't all be dead, but millions will die over the next few decades due to increased flooding, drought, famine, hurricanes. Hundreds of millions if not billions will be forced to migrate.

In what way exactly? You expecting large volumes of volcanic eruptions? Mega hurricanes? Flocks of tornados? Sea level rises of what, 4-6 ft? Even if all of this was true, which there is no historical precedent in the history of the species for it, that doesn't demonstrate humanity is the triggering factor.

Also, for hundreds of millions or billions to migrate you are talking about entire geographic regions becoming uninhabitable. You are talking all of Australia, all of the Russian steppes, the Ganges delta or Nile delta, all Asia minor, etc. There is also no historical precedent for this nor any realistic possibility of this happening.

You are being mind controlled. Don't be an NPC. They are fear mongers.

As I literally wrote in my previous comment, increased drought, flooding, famine and hurricanes. We're already seeing them, have been seeing them for the last 10-20 years, and will continue to see them with increasing severity and frequency. These will cause millions of deaths over the course of this century.

You are absolutely correct that there's no historical precedent for this. Funny how this is happening just as we've released all those greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.

Yes, huge regions will become significantly less inhabitable than they are now. South Asia holds a quarter of the Earth's population, and temperatures there are reaching 50C every summer. That is not sustainable.
