When I’m 140 years old? Yeah, that worries me.

Yes. I agree. It’s a real tangible risk that we can do something about.

I will be amused when all of those scientists have to apologize in 2101 and admit that they were wrong. Ill throw a party that day.
In 2101 no one will remember these predictions. The scientists will likely be dead and the grant $$ will certainly be gone.

When are these pseudo-scientists going to give up on their "carbon-dioxide" scam? Everyone knows that the only and direct result of higer Co2 levels is still higher oxygen levels, resulting in a much greener, healthier planet and population.
I'd like five minutes alone in a room with these lying dirt-pukes.

Carbon levels have only been rising precipitously for the past 100 to 150 years
Well before the rise of significant human contributions.
Do these people even read what they write?

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) predict that by 2100, the earths oceans will contain so much carbon that a sixth mass extinction will begin. Carbon dioxide gets dissolved into the ocean from the air, we already know that. What we also know is that the amount of carbon dioxide that the ocean can keep dissolved is related to the temperature of the water. Colder water absorbs more, hotter water can absorb less.
In the last ice age, the ocean got cold enough to absorb a lot of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, all the way down to about 180 ppm. After the Earth warms out of an ice age, some carbon dioxide precipitates out of the ocean back into the air, which is one of the reasons we are gaining CO2.
This is the only correlation so far discovered between CO2 in the atmosphere and temperature. But first, the water warms up, then the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, not the other way around. And there is about a 600 year gap in between the two.
This person proposes that when the Earth's oceans heat up, they absorb more carbon dioxide, which is the opposite of what we can measure and experimentally reproduce.

Will it be at Midnight January 1, 2100? If it is, I won't plan on a New Year's Party...I need to know, so I can schedule if I should have a party.
Of course, I'll be 150 years old, but I might be alive...or I might get hit by a bus tomorrow...

WOW! Mass extinction by 2100. Fake news. The fine print of the article says
That said, he notes it would likely still take yet another 10,000 years for an actual catastrophic event to occur as a result.
So taxpayers can pony up money for 10,000 years to try to stop it. Me, I'll be long dead before 10,000 years pass.

These so-called scientists are aware, aren’t they, that we’re all made of carbon, and that the more carbon there is, the more life the planet can support?
It would be nice if these physicists (or whatever the climate alarmists are) would consult a little with life scientists. No carbon, no life.
I’m a life scientist; I know the value of carbon.
