Saudi Arabia officials said on Sunday that more than 1,300 Muslims died during the Hajj pilgrimage, which took place during intense heat, and that most of th...
Humans are more resilient than rats, there will always be some of us around in the northern latitudes at least. Hard to say what shape civilization will be in though. I don't think there is enough easily-accessible oil to restart development if things regress past the industrial revolution.
We've never experienced scarcity at the global level like we are about to face (at least since the Ice Age anyway). Humanity's response will be the true horror of the climate crisis. Just look at how Europe reacted to the Syrian refugee crisis and how the US is panicking now over migrants at the border. These numbers are not even a trickle of what is to come when the Global South can no longer produce enough food to sustain itself. We've seeing firsthand just how easily the populace can be whipped up into a frenzy of xenophobia and readily promote violence as an acceptable solution. Now ramp that up by several orders of magnitude.
Oh, I never suggested that. Livability on this planet will be very unevenly distributed and those who can hoard resources will protect it at all costs. But yeah, we are nearly impossible to kill off completely. Language, planning and writing are the big game changers that give us a leg up on past species that faced extinction events. I don't think even nuclear war or a meteor strike will fully wipe out humanity at this point.

Even Threads, as depressing as it is, doesn't show humanity completely destroyed by global nuclear war. Just reduced to a level of base violence and brutality and misery that most of us would wish we were dead
crazy unforeseen rain literally just destroyed one entire state here, while mine is predicted to kill people from thrist. and thats just the very start.
no way we can fit people on the few habitable places that will be left without quite a bunch of fiery death.

okay sure, but even if everything you say is true that doesn't reduce the human population to a few billionaires in a bunker

That movie was haunting
i can envision a few billionaires fortifying themselves in the last habitable zones and the rest of us dying a fiery death, yes.
It is not really that level of apocalypse.
it sure is looking like it will be to me.

Not directly no, but when shit really hits the fan and nations start invading each other for water then the odds of nukes flying skyrockets
