We got lucky a few times and now have enjoyed a comparatively long period of time without serious problems. Relatively long time being one generation, so we don't really remember what it feels like to go hungry, struggle to survive in a war and stuff like that.
Unfortunately that doesn't mean that bad things can't happen again, just because we don't remember them. In Japan they had ancient stones in the land warning about places where previous Tsunamis had hit. Unfortunately nobody of the "younger generations" cared about them anymore...
This attitude of "technology will sort it out every time" is just stupid and not really supported by history. I have no doubt that humans will survive, somehow. Doesn't mean that there can't be turmoil, millions of deaths and so on on the way anymore.
