Show me a planet in thermal stasis and I'll show you a dead planet.
Show me a planet with sustainable life and I'll show you a planet, not in thermal stasis, but in dynamic equilibrium.
Come on, you said everybody dies, so why don't you do it already? Not ready yet? That's the point.
I see Mocnkton is still lying with numbers.

I'm in the AGW camp. I also believe that our influence on the atmosphere, albeit small (5-10% is often stated), is enough to alter the delicate balance enough to prove disastrous (both in time perspectives that matter to humans and geologically). When this snowball starts rolling the avalance can't be averted, ie. you can't stop what's set in motion by burning less fossil fuels (and if we do that the economy will stall further, so we're trapped between a rock and a hard place).
The elephant in the room is, however, overpopulation and depletion of nearly every useful resource there is, from hydrocarbons (coal, gas, oil), copper, iron, rare earth metals/minerals, phosphorous, fresh water in parts of the world und su weiter.
