Do you mean ‘we, society as it is right now’ or ‘we, the human species’. Because i don’t really disagree, but at the same time i’ve seen people get through stuff i expected would kill them. I’m quite convinced some people will survive the storm. Might not be many if we continue this way though
Oh humans will survive. We’re hands down the most adaptable species evolution ever spat out. Billions of us living as we have been? Definitely not. But make no mistake, it’ll be humans, cockroaches, and whatever’s going on on those deep sea vents left at the end.
I wouldn’t overestimate humanity’s survival capabilities. There have been over a dozen known species of the genus homo, yet all but one are extinct. The rest have died out mostly due to natural changes in climate.
Sure, we can adapt, but we’d have to put in an actual effort to do so. Reducing emissions is an adaptation, but we’re not doing enough in that regard.
It’s the end for billions, possibly trillions of living beings though (remember not only humans are suffering from climate changes). There will be some sort of rebuilding sure, but the cost will have been unimaginable.

If anything is left, it’s not the end. Revolutionary optimism even in the face of extinction, man.
That and the willingness to throw every billionaire into a woodchipper.
