Is climate change an extinction level threat? I’ve never heard that.
I read somewhere before that the release of methane from the melting ice caps (?) could create a knock on effect of global warming turning the Earth into another Venus
How much of that is actually true I never looked further into.
The planet has previously been 15C above current levels due to flood volcanism so earth turning into a Venus just straight up isn’t happening. It is potentially mechanically possible but we’re talking conditions so extreme that we couldn’t make it happen even if we wanted too with our current level of technology.
