it'll all return in due time, the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs was a major extinction event in the same caliber as global warming is likely to be.
If we continue on like this, it'll be more like the Permian-Triassic Extinction 250 million years ago, which was also due to increased CO2 in the atmosphere and which killed 90 percent of all life.
gotta love extinction science
Oh ffs We are literally the most likely species to survive any of that.
Bacteria, viruses, insects all way more likely to survive.
The bigger and more complex generally means more likely to run out of something.
Patience, mostly.
"Ignorance" is not "patience", you have the former, not the latter.
No, we aren't

Check the post history of the person you're replying to, they're pretty blatantly ridiculous.
My general operating principle is that even if this person is engaging in bad faith, there may be other people lurking who want this info or who have similar questions who would be too nervous to comment or ask. So I give info anyway for others.
That's a very good point! I found your post interesting, myself, so thank you.
well its probably cockroaches and bacterium, or some weird bullshit species that exists.
Humans are famously good at surviving in the desert. That's why so much of human civilization exists at the center of large land masses in arid climates.
I hope humans are not very survivable, because then we wouldn't have humans like you around.
