Humans are far from dying out and incredibly resilient. Things like climate change are not really about the human race surviving, more the scale and quality at which we continue to live. Both important but very different things.



I was speaking more to the resource utilization part of the statement, but sure: technically, there will probably still be humans left, in places, if we keep going at the rate we are.

If we're (as a species) lucky, that number might even exceed the minimum viable population.

The individuals in that circumstance probably won't feel very lucky, though.
