Edit: We survived an ice age and we’re very highly adaptable. Plus, we will hold on to some percentage of technical knowledge that will help us adapt faster.

What do you disagree with, though?
Humans will perish, as will 90% of life on Earth.
Civilization likely will perish, but i doubt the species will short of a dramatic event.
We are degrading the environment slow enough to adjust.
No, it’s going faster than anything humans have ever experienced. It will take about a million years for life to adapt and evolve.

I think you’re selling us short! 😜
We survived by reverting to areas that were not covered in ice. The areas under direct influence of the ice age did not remain inhabited. We didn’t really adapt. We just had another place to go. In this case, we don’t.
That’s where we disagree. I think there will be small inhabitable areas of the planet for centuries, at least. If not, there are caves. Humans are nothing if not -persistent.-
We’ll see. Bedouins might be able to survive, indeed.
Though, I’d wish for my children and grandchildren to be among the ones who will keep thriving. It’s not the easiest thing to organize.

Dumb, foolish and short sighted… that’s humans too
No we aren’t, we are in the middle of the 6th mass extinction. Its hubris to think humans wont go the way of Neanderthals. Hell, we are actively trying to ignore it and make it worse right now in the U.S.
I’d love to see us go the way of Neanderthals!
But I don’t think that will happen. I think we’ll go extinct instead.
Mass extinction, not complete extinction.
It’s not hubris. Humans are one of, if not the most adaptable species on the planet. Unless it gets so hot that the caves become uninhabitable, we’ll squeak by.
I see it like this: If there is a way, we will find it. It’s in our DNA.
Foolish boy…
