what will the climate be like?

If we burn all the rest of the oil and coal in the ground. If we clear cut all the rest of the forests, leaving only tree farms to produce lumber and paper. If we keep releasing greenhouse gasses from industrial farms, land fills and wast water treatment.

If all of that happened in the next 100 – 150 years, which is pretty much the worst case scenario, what would the earths climate be like? And how easy will it be for people to live in that climate?
listen up Jerry. Forrest is still being clear cut in many parts of the world. and methane gas is still being vented by all three of those things. Of course we need them you idiot, but they have to operate a little differently. And how much coal do you think there is? And the question is what would happen if we burned it all? typical of a denier to just rant and call names without giving a shred of useful information or even attempting to answer the question.
Also typical to take statements out of context and misconstrue them into something completely different to fit their argument
