14. Humans are like cockroaches - they won't be killed off

The population may be greatly reduced and the cultures will be changed, but humans will probably still be around.

The 'probably' is because we have no idea how much the global environment will be affected. In the past the Earth has ranged from being almost completely tropical to being an ice planet. Either extreme could be a tremendous challenge for humans to survive and to maintain a viable civilization. Either way I would bet at least a few individual humans would survive and keep a breeding population around to screw things up again.
