Seeing the Apple thing and the Australis thing and the EU thing, I'm happy humanity will kill itself by Climate Change.

We have built systems that make it impossible for evil to fail, it will always succeed. You can see it popping up everywhere - loss of privacy, climate change denialism, covid denialism, fascism everywhere, chinese extermination camps, ...

We will all die out and it is a good thing. We will all suffer terribly and that's good, we deserve that too.

Even assuming your take is right and humanity deserves the fate we're actively constructing, it's not just our fate. We're a hardy and clever species - by the time we are extinct from climate change, it'll be a hard environment for mammals in general. Even if you believe we deserve to go, it's still worth trying to fix things for those who can't.
