I'll take on this ... incredibly ... dumb take. It doesn't matter if we are "adaptable". We are directly reliant on a functioning global biosphere. This ain't changing. One of the scariest aspects of the current mass extinction is that other mass extinctions occurred on the timescale of tens to hundreds of thousands of years. That can be viewed as a proper timescale for overall evolutionary adaptation to occur in the global biosphere. Our current mass extinction is really on the scale of a couple hundred years. Previous temperature shifts likewise occurred on the scale of 10,000s of years. That provides time for adaptation, migration of entire biomes to shifting locations. See: https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ Our current one is ridiculously fast. Even if the biomes / ecosystems could migrate, humanity is industrializing all the possible locations for the biomes to migrate too with farming. Unless you are a colonist from mars with experience in surviving in a world without a functioning biosphere, kindly never repeat this sentiment again.
