Whenever to watch something like this I feel happy about climate change. Humans won't survive the next 100 years and what ever comes after, I just hope it'll learn from us. Don't be us.
Hate to burst your bubble, but we are at a point where our technology can save us from extinction on every event short of a sudden space event that wipes out all life, like a gamma ray burst stripping the atmosphere.
It'll be a mere fraction of current population levels, maybe not even a million depending on the severity of the event, but far from extinction. Only a few hundred survivors are needed for sufficient genetic diversity to repopulate
Yeah, but no.
There are loads of things we can do, and a literally unimaginable amount of things we still (or never) aren't able to do. Technology as it currently stands only works because the entire world is involved. You need loads of technicians and engineers to keep everything working and they depend on materials coming from all over the world, supply lines and such.
Once that stops, everything stops. No more rare earth materials? Woopsie, no more phones and computers. Want to recycle them? That too requires supply lines.
Blow up an emp in space over the US and the entire country with all of its technology will be sent back to the 1700's within half a year.
Yeah, we might might might maybe be able to hold out with a few survivors but they would be the unlucky ones anyway
And for what? So that they can continue ravaging the world? Humanity, at this point, is a cancer and it should be removed. Find that cynical? I'm not wrong.
