This is what I am not understanding. The last interglacial period was several degrees higher than it currently is right now. Even after 120 so odd years of industrial revolution, the current temperatures have barely risen. Even if the temperatures do go up as high as the last interglacial period, which does not seem to be happening, I do not see how that would harm us. If our ancestors were able to survive in a world like that, then we should have no trouble at all. Even if the temperature does rise by as little as 2 degrees, we will be fine, we will still be here, life may be a little tougher, but it will go on.
