Once humanity drives itself extinct, nature will fix everything, sure. That won't help humanity though.

  Humanity won't drive itself extinct, the brunt of the effects will hit the weakest hardest. The west can probably afford climate change(in the purely economical sense), as most of the west is currently located in the north temperate zone.

  Worst case scenario, it won't reach that point and instead you will have a lot fewer humans down the road and therefore things will go back to where they were in the long run. There's a way bigger risk of catastrophe having 50 000+ thermonuclear warheads pointed at all major cities in the world than with climate change. Yet people act these days as if nukes did not exist anymore or something.

    In my reading of history, the more likely scenario is disease will wipe out most. Mutually assured destruction has seemed to work as a deterrent thus far since the 40s.
