The earth will still be habitable by 2050.

Although by 2050, climate change as well as other environmental issues will impact the planet earth significantly and make some areas of earth less habitable and pose some challenges to human populations.

It's also likely that by 2050, many places will also experience some more extreme weather events, with rising sea levels and also increased heat stress.

By 2050, temperature of the earth are also expected to rise significantly, with some regions of the earth exceeding survivable thresholds of temperatures.

And by 2050, we should expect more frequent and more intense heat waves, floods, droughts and storms.

And coastal areas will also face increased flooding and also erosion as a result of rising sea levels, which will displace people.

And some areas by 2050 may also become uninhabitable as a result of the extreme heat, water scarcity or other climate related factors.

By 2050, continued loss of ecosystems and species will also impact natural resources and could potentially disrupt the food chain.

And air pollution, including ground level ozone and particulate matter is also projected to get worse by 2050 and impact human health.

And an increase in competition for resources such as food and water is also likely and most particularly in regions that are vulnerable.

Although new technologies such as artificial photosynthesis in 2050 and beyond could help to mitigate some of the climate impacts and improve living conditions.
