To be honest I'd be surprised if they didn't

Nothing is irreversible, it just depends on how far it swings. Might get another ice-age, might all suffocate, but nature will win through in the end. Until the sun blows up.

Perhaps he just means that almost everybody alive today will be dead in 93 years time. Doesn't seem that controversial.

EDIT.
And Filipe beat me to it of course.

Oh well ill be dead anyway prob by 2050 so ill get my big bag of bothered out again.

I am also in the army should be relativly safe from any civil uprising as a government department we would still be looked after , plus they would need us to control you riotus mob.

and thirdly, the planet has been warming and cooling on its own for billions of years, it just happens that this time we are at a stage where we are aware what is happening and why, so everyone is panaking a bit. We have helped speed it up for sure, but as one of the theorys is that when the Gulf stream stops the next ice age comes i think that that wil cool things down a bit again.

If the theories are correct,and we are responsible for this warming stuff,then wiping out 6 billion human beings should solve the problem nicely.
It's one of those solutions the politicians cant put in their manifesto,so nature has to do it for them.
