Human race will survive. When extinction level event will be certain then 20-30 underground mini cities will be created and biggest minds will create solution for humans to survive there for 100+ years. Of course only privileged will be chosen to live there. 7 billions of people will die but human race will survive.

"We must not allow a mineshaft gap!" A more poetic cinematic exploration of that topic if Verdens Undergang, best watched accompanied by a good orchestra https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_the_World_%281916_f...

Sorry, if humanity allows it to come as far as requiring mineshafting for pure self-inflicted ecological overexploitation, it does not deserve survival.

Only "a boot stamping on a human face, forever", will survive that. Not a human foot, not a human wearing a boot, just a boot -- I think these words were chosen carefully.
