Heh. Gradualism vs. Catastrophism all over again.
As for 'no recovery for us' (if by 'us' you mean humanity) a thousand years is a long time. Hopefully, by then, they'll have taken some hard-earned lessons from our completely avoidable bone-headed mistakes. Or ... probably too optimistic. Okay, then, 10,000 years to stop being followers of fatuous fools.
On the bright side, if we use up most of the extractable fossil fuels, there won't be enough left for them to take that path.
