How is WW I judged by people living today? Or the industrial revolution (both good and bad parts)?
I suppose once there's no living memory of this event, it will be seen as "just humans being humans".
Personally I think humanity will survive, but many of us - including me - will have a much lower lifespan and die of preventable (at least today) causes.
The first modern heatwave in Europe killed in excess of 70k people. Subsequent ones didn't. I see myself as one of those poor bastards that will be caught in a new type of calamity before we adapt.
