This is the real danger.

We can control human emissions but not these feedbacks.

I'd say we can't even do that because human stupidity is fifth elemental force.

Which shall be eradicated in 100-200 years. The stupid think they are clever than they are…destroying the very elements that enable us to exist.

Even if we get eradicated in 200 years, some effects of our stupidity (global warming included) will outlast us by millenia.
