Oh please spare me the doomerism. There is no reason to believe that humans will go extinct any time soon, whether you believe climate scare prognoses or not.

And other species haven't been surviving on this planet any longer than us just because they didn't evolve significantly during that time while we did.

> climate scare prognoses

You do realise people are already dying of climate change, right? Not only directly from heat waves, but other natural disasters caused by the rapidly shifting climate.
