      Some life would probably survive no matter how bad global warming got. But what that life would be is hard to say. Its definitely possible that global warming could get bad enough to wipe out humans completely, and if that happened then probably a lot of the animals and plants would be gone as well. If it was bad enough maybe only things bacteria would survive.

      Its a scary thought that the world could end up so different to how we know it now.

      I think Alex’s answer is very good. The only thing I can add is that even though it could wipe us all out, we are not at that point yet! There is still a lot we can do to help such as recycling and trying to make sure the government and big companies help us to save the planet.

      I think Alex gave a great answer. I don’t think it will wipe humans out totally but it will be a very unpleasant world to live in with many humans suffering.
