In the past the earth has gone through numerous warm and cold periods without any human intervention and there is absolutely no reason to think that this will somehow stop. Whether or not the current warming is humanely induced and can be humanely stopped is open for debate. CO2 levels may be a meaningful indicator, like ocean temperatures and ice thickness, but I seriously doubt that human control of CO2 emission is a meaningful lever of control for the climate. Other, natural sources, are just so much bigger. But I admit I am no expert in this area.
The problems I foresee are more the social and economic type of coastal areas becoming flooded, some areas becoming uninhabitable while others becoming actually inhabitable. Maybe I should invest in real estate on Greenland.

The most relevant literature regarding what happened since September 11, 2001 is George Orwell's "1984".
