Bit heavy for the shower.

“The planet will be fine. We’re fucked.”

— St. Carlin

No species lasts forever—and the faster their environment changes, the sooner their expiration date.

My bet for climate change is a massive migrational crisis and wars over resources.

Humankind won't disappear, not even civilization. But life would probably be shit, and many many people will die.

Climate change is an ongoing process that takes decades to centuries. That's very fast as far as evolution and natural climactic shifts are concerned, but on a human scale long term. Given that it's not stopping within the lifespan of one person, and contributes to virtually every health problem in subtle ways, it'd seem a bit difficult to say if a given person has "survived it" or not, even if they live to an old age.

Humanity will likely survive climate change.

I like your optimism, but I don't share it. We honestly don't know, one way or the other. What we do know is that human extinction in on the table and growing in probability. When I look at human actions as our cumulative knowlegde of these risks grew, well, I'm not exactly confident our species will make it.

Plus, we will hold on to some percentage of technical knowledge that will help us adapt faster.

You're running off the assumption that the survivors know useful information and that theyre also able to utilize that useful information plus be able to source needed materials since they wont have travel

Example: I know I need an antibiotic for my infection but I dont know how to create that antibiotic or how to guide someone on how to make it. If I did know id also have to get lucky that the region I live in has all the materials needed to make it. We source all around the world for our stuff.

Likely humanity will survive but probably wont advance as fast as you think.

When we experience and maybe survive the next mass extinction, its going to be vastly more difficult to reindustrialize / redigitalize even if knowledge persists because we've already extracted the most easily accessible materials from the earth and extracting resources is becoming increasingly difficult.

If you know how to build a battery but you cant build the machines to get the lithium, you just cant build a battery. But I suppose over time we'd find better ways to recycle.

Climate change is just the tip of the big white iceberg

Democracy and capitalism won't survive. 100 years from now we will all be north Korea. 1000 years from now we will all live in medieval feudalism.

If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis that all things are made of atoms — little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied.

Richard Feynman

So, if, during the apocalypse, you have access to a means of passing on a message to the poor bastards who have to live in the New World, it should be this:

"Everything is made of atoms"

the vast majority of humans didn't survive even before anthropogenic climate change

The majority of humans won't survive the next 100 years, because almost nobody lives to be 100.

Do you mean that the majority of people currently alive will die due to climate change?
Do you mean that humanity's population will drop by over 50% and will not recover?
Do you mean that in the future, the majority of deaths will be due to climate change, even in 200 years from now when the new (much hotter) equilibrium will be all anyone has ever known?

I don't care if I don't survive but I'm taking a couple of polluters with me lmao

It depends on which kind of climate disaster we're facing. If it's reversible over the next million years, humanity as a species should be fine. The population would be cut down to just a tiny fraction, and the survivors might have to start from pre-industrial tech level.

If it's irreversible, and the Earth becomes a Venus like hellscape, the whole planet should be pretty much sterilized. Good luck surviving that.

I don't like this shower thought. It puts bad vibes out into the world and I'm not about that right now. Im having a good day for once, lol.

One half of us die, the other half will be happy with the results. To bad it won't be those who denied and brought the problem about

Some humans will survive but, with the state of the world today, I think we're already pretty close to losing our humanity.

We killed millions of species to make the rich richer, but some humans survived so that's nice
