You will be downvoted because others have financial interest in pushing this "emission reduction" agenda. But ultimately those people will realize that properly orchestrating their death was a much better option, but then it will be too late

It's better to do a voluntary extinction, because the involuntary one will inevitably happen and it'll be absolutely brutal, don't expect anything else

I find this website to be highly credible. The world's most reliable reporting comes from Lad Bible, which most high prestigious news organizations tend to follow.
It's interesting that this cited the "continentality effect" as a reason for a mass extinction. Did previous subcontinents have a similar extinction effect, or would there still be more habitable environments at the margins?

In 250 million years, whatever is around by then, if things are left alone. Hominids has been around 5M years, mankind 200k years, civilization 10-20k years, and global civilization less than 200 years.
And in the last 100 years we changed enough the planet to start changing it into an hostile environment for mankind and civilization. I don't know if we will be around in 100 years and in what conditions, because what we are doing with climate and the irresponsible way that we handle the power we achieved (nuclear, technology, internet, etc) may be a threat for us. They may as well warn us about the dangers of the Sun turning into a red giant for what it will affect mankind.
Valid research, but this is click bait reporting.
This is not in any way about modern climate change.
