The key to surviving climate change is having the energy resources to do so. Resource depletion is happening at roughly the same speed as climate change is impacting us. We do not live in a sustainable way. Nobody would seriously argue with that claim, but the implication is that our way of life is unsustainable. Extinction is a bit extreme but the way we live, our global civilization, is not one that can be sustained. We're showing absolutely zero signs of seriously slowing the pace of our resource consumption or waste production. Only time will tell what it looks like when we go from unsustainable to the consequences of that. But given that without hydrocarbons our biosphere can probably only support about 1 billion humans... we're in for a rough time.
