We've witnessed societal collapse before and came out of it for the better. We'll be reunited as a whole within a hundred years of such an event.
The main difference though was those were just societal not ecological.
People were able to bounce back easily because resources were still plentiful and food was everywhere. With climate change a lot of resources are going to become unavailable.
Maybe so, but humans are also clever. Just cause we're fucked doesnt mean we're out of the game.
Oh I have no doubt. Honestly it would take planet wide devastation to completely wipe us out.
But mass extinctions have happened multiple times and the species that survive are mainly just lucky.
I don't think humanity has anymore luck to spare.
