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.

    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.
