I doubt we'll go extinct. We lived through a bottleneck where there were only 3,000 to 10,000 people on the planet around 70,000 years ago. And that was when we were technologically irrelevant. Now, with billions of people and good technology, there is next to no way we'd go extinct.

Agreed. We could starve ourselves out of existence but only in the case of a multi-decade event.
