    Grapes were found on the North of the east coast of America and perhaps they will be found again.
    Lush forests were found on Spitsbergen at one time, maybe this will occur again? We mine its remnants today and releases the carbon they bound in coal burning power plants.
    As humans we move around where the nature will let us settle. We follow the retreating glacier and remove ourselves from their advances.
    We have done so since the dawn of man... it is only now that we want to impose our will on a ever changing nature. We want it stagnate and controlled.
    What exactly does that prove apart from happens, the aim for humainty should always be to try to interfere as little as possible. Things will change on there own but at least we might have time to adapt due to our technology and intellectual capacity.

    We may not have enough time to change to what were unleashing in the future and yes maybe we will adapt in time but it's a big guess.

    Also it will likely be 7 or 8 billion people by then and thats not likely to be able to be moved easily, a massivge enough change could kill 2 or 3 billion. However the big danger is climate change and wars waged by nations litterally for survival in the resultant changed climate.

    That could give us drastic climate change and nuclear war which would likely either extinguish or severely stunt humanity.
