You are in serious denial. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/06/climate/biodiversity-extinction-united-nations.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/06/climate/biodiversity-exti... What's happening right now is absolutely unprecedented and it will kill a lot of people. It's demoralizing how even within a crowd that's supposed to value science we have people waving away what's happening right now.

You're completely misreprenting what I'm saying. Yes, it will kill a lot of people. And it's a disaster. But humanity will adapt and be fine. Kind of like how humanity survived world wars doesn't discount how awful those wars were.

  Yeah, that's denial. We're on the path to extinction if we don't seriously change something.

    Oh don't be a doomer! Greta Thunberg is more optimistic than you! xD Oh wait, no she isn't. The end is nigh!

On the other hand, humans driving ourselves extinct might be the best long term scenario for the rest of life on Earth. Realistically, the universe doesn't care one way or the other about us.

  Yes, and so what? There's nothing else in the known universe that's capable of caring. The only good outcome seems to be us surviving.
