On net, yes things are fine. Look up Alex Epstein, he makes the point that the benefits humans gain from fossil fuels far outweigh the cons.

What is it we are trending towards? That we will make the sky gods really angry and the earth will go up in a blazing inferno? I don’t think that will happen anytime soon.

Ice sheets collapse raising sea levels and flooding the coastal cities in which a significant proportion of the world's population lives causing massive economic and human displacement and suffering. Warming makes the current world breadbaskets (e.g. Russia, Ukraine, USA mid-west) unsuitable for grain with no replacement available causing world famine. That's just a start. It's a long list.

None of what you said is even remotely true.

Why is it not true and how is it not true?
