Global warming cannot cause humanity to go extinct. Nuclear war cannot cause humanity to go extinct. Population decline cannot cause humanity to go extinct.

If you think any of these are possible, you do not know enough about global warming, nuclear war, or population decline.

In short, things may get very, very, very bad. But hope springs eternal. And there are very, very few scenarios that won't leave many millions of people alive to pick up the pieces.

    Humans as a species surviving or not isn't really what bothers me. It's the billions of humans, and animals who will suffer and die in the meantime that bother me. I get what you're saying, but it comes off as "a million or even a billion people may survive so ignore the rest" to me who's a cynic. Sorry.
