Seems humanity is headed towards Asimov's Caves of Steel anyway due to climate collapse, so you'll get your wish.

  Have more futuristic optimism. We are doing quite well on the climate. We will prevent it once we get fully to solar and then build CO2 scrubbers using solar energy. Energy percentage that come from renewables is more than 10x higher than anticipated 10 years ago. And don't call it a "collapse": a change is not necessary to the worse, sometimes it is to the better.

    I'm a bit less optimistic than that. I think we will be forced to start atmospheric spraying, and hopefully use that bandaid to fix the underlying wound. In theory it will stop warming, which may cause many people to take that as "Well, looks like we can go back to burning fossil fuels!".

    i don't know what to call uncontrollable positive feedback loops in the global temperature if not a "collapse"
