I'm happy to give that advice.
Humanity can continue to operate warm the planet until it is inhospitable to industrial civilisation, but life will continue beyond that (so we're not in danger of going full Venus).
We are currently at 420 ppm carbon dioxide or so. About 50 million years ago, the level was about 1500 ppm.
This is after mass extinctions of course, but life will continue for at least a few hundred million years yet
