Results; Hotter "summer cycles" between glacial ages will result. The polar ice caps may melt off. For nature to compensate for the changes it may take up to 400,000 years to deal with it.
A lot of people would rather be comfortable, would rather go on thinking that we don't have a responsibility to do anything for the planet. Because yeah, it's just there to be used, not taken care of, amiryte?
Sorry for the rant
We as a species wont die from it, most others will, but our evolutionary tract will be altered by the heat (maybe develop more sweat glands, bigger noses ect ) We are going to actually influence our own evolution. Scary.
