Do you mean 'we, society as it is right now' or 'we, the human species'. Because i don't really disagree, but at the same time i've seen people get through stuff i expected would kill them. I'm quite convinced some people will survive the storm. Might not be many if we continue this way though

Oh humans will survive. We're hands down the most adaptable species evolution ever spat out. Billions of us living as we have been? Definitely not. But make no mistake, it'll be humans, cockroaches, and whatever's going on on those deep sea vents left at the end.

If anything is left, it's not the end. Revolutionary optimism even in the face of extinction, man.

That and the willingness to throw every billionaire into a woodchipper.

It's the end for billions, possibly trillions of living beings though (remember not only humans are suffering from climate changes). There will be some sort of rebuilding sure, but the cost will have been unimaginable.

Oh I know. I worship nature. My god is being killed for Tiktok AI slop and Twitter incel CSA. It's the greatest blasphemy imaginable and there is no suffering great enough for its architects. I'm not naive enough to believe in any kind of inevitable legal justice, but I do believe they'll die hollow, even if it's of natural causes.

I wouldn't overestimate humanity's survival capabilities. There have been over a dozen known species of the genus homo, yet all but one are extinct. The rest have died out mostly due to natural changes in climate.

Sure, we can adapt, but we'd have to put in an actual effort to do so. Reducing emissions is an adaptation, but we're not doing enough in that regard.
