Yeah, but unless we're mercifully nuked into oblivion, it will be a very slow, painful demise.

Not that slow, we're going to be 40% over capacity on fresh water globally by 2030, and 90% of topsoil globally is at risk of depletion by 2050. And what with how hot it's getting, it's likely a blue ocean event will trigger the clathrate gun to go off within the next decade, if not sooner.

Google those at your own peril.
