      I think the world still exist, but global warming might make it impossible for humans to live on earth, as well as lots of animals. The climate will change, so weather will become more extreme and cause natural disasters like hurricanes that can kill and hurt people and destroy buildings. It will also be harder to grow food, because some places will have droughts. Sea levels will rise so there will be less available land. I hope that people can prevent or slow down global warming so things don’t get that bad though!

      I think global warming will make it harder to survive.
      Rising sea levels will have a big impact, changing rainfall patterns, glaciers melting and desertification will all have effect.
      How we deal with those will be a huge challenge.
      We’ll need to be more equal and help out those in precarious environments.
      I hope our governments realise this soon.

      I hope not! The world is very adaptable (that’s why it has survived for over a billion years) and whatever damage is caused, will eventually be undone. Global warming might change the world and humans might have to change how we live in order to survive as a species.

      What we need is a new generation of great scientists with amazing ideas and who want to change things for the better.

      Maybe in the super long term! But the bigger problem will be in the shorter term with areas of the earth becoming more extreme such as more droughts, rising sea levels and disruption to animals habitats either causing them move to other areas that might not be suitable for them.
