Stop with this Climate Change will kill off humankind nonsense

[edhopper]

I am sure there will still be tribes of hunter gatherers in the swamps of the Artic Circle and the forests of Antarctica.

1. I laughed. Gallows humor, I guess.

[cloudbase]

2. Humor aside, extinction appears to be the rule,

and survival the exception.

We're all just passin' through.

3. Civilization will endure. Satellites will be available

for people to access Internet resources, such as "How to make fire" on YouTube

4. I just want to see ted cruz...

wipe his ass with poison ivy.

[Jerry2144]

12. I'd rather not

see that. Just hear that he did it is enough for me.

[Mysterian]

5. Billionaires will survive in their underground survival complexes

The rest of us will die.

[Quixote1818]

6. That could make for an entertaining movie. Someone gets the locations of all the billionaire

bunkers around the world and the Mad Max folks come in with military grade weapons and take back over. LOL

[Tickle]

11. Billionaires need us

peasants to survive

[Kaleva]

7. I think there was a poll here where a majority didn't think climate change

was the most important issue facing us today.

[Calculating]

8. It's hard when we have COVID, Russia, inflation, stock market crash etc

We can only process so much doom at once.

[Kaleva]

13. None of that compares to the challenges climate change will bring.

[Silent3]

9. I know you mean this facetiously, but a lot of people do seem to think total human extinction...

...is a lot more likely than it really is.

A massive die-off isn't unlikely, however, and that should be frightening enough, even though a much-reduced human population can almost certainly survive anything less catastrophic than the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs, maybe even a little worse than that.

And, of course, it would be a very rough life for survivors for perhaps decades, even centuries, after a large human die-off, which would of course likely drag many other plant and animal species down with us.

10. People confuse end of the species with end of civilization as we know it.
