While humans might not survive, the nature will. Should the worst happen. But I'm optimistic that humanity won't let things get this bad.

  or humanity begins changing with its environments, becoming smaller to cope better with the extreme heat and humidity and in a few millions years sentient lizards complain on a forum over a bucket of RFH (rogars fried humanoid) about the terror of global cooling and how it's coming for them all.

    That would be interesting, and then I could say that I'm not just 5 3 (158 cm) but I'm also slightly more evolved. Just kidding ^^

There was also much more O2 in the atmosphere. Doubtful that's coming back.

  Plants do this weird thing and turn CO2 into O2. More CO2 means more plants. The earth is greening with the additional atmospheric carbon. https://www.nasa.gov/technology/carbon-dioxide-fertilization-greening-earth-study-finds/ https://www.nasa.gov/technology/carbon-dioxide-fertilization...

    O2 levels are not set that way. Just think where all the new CO2 is coming from.

      Much of it is coming from the carbon in fossilized remains of a time when there was much more O2 in the atmosphere because there was so much flora and a warmer planet... what am I missing? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geological_history_of_oxygen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geological_history_of_oxygen

        Ok, now tell me where the O2 in CO2 comes from. And where it goes after a plant captures the carbon. Now read the original comment again. Did you notice the problem? That wiki page is surprisingly unhelpful. The O2 on the atmosphere mostly doesn't come or go anywhere, but on geological timescales it is mostly created from water and absorbed by rocks. The phenomenon that entire page is about stopped billions of years ago.

        Much oxygen also gets trapped in the oxidization of things. Its pretty prolific, and part of why antioxidants in our food are considered so important. While some species of microorganism exist which might be able to help recover much of this oxygen with the right environment (e.g. the hot CO2 heavy and thus acidic water heavy environment we're creating) it might not be a realistically useful amount over time, or in time.
