Methane gas levels are increasing again. Methane is 20 times more of a green house gas then Carbon Dioxide. Nobody knows at what point the Earth’s temperature control feed back loop will fail. But even so this is NOT going to result in mass extinctions. Humans have done a reasonable job in taking out a few species by destroying habitats and introducing foreign species into other habitats. All Global warming is going to do is take out a few more species one of which is likely to be humans since humans are a rather delicate species.
