3. I think this sixth grand extinction will be an exception to the rule for homo sapiens.

The apex species scenario applies well to top predators, but we're omnivorous.

I think we'll have a "huge thinning of the herd", if all we face is resource shortages and changing climate.

We're mobile enough and have enough tools that some of us should be able to survive in a few places on the planet no matter what.

Unless there's a virus or other biological agent.

Or a big asteroid, or series of volcanic event.

Oh, shit.

WE ARE GONNA DIE!

:hi:
