The difference is that humans are capable of manipulating their environment to fit the climate.

We're the only species on the planet that lives in both 100+ degree deserts and frozen wastelands.

As long as it's still possible to grow crops, humanity will survive.




Maybe most agriculture will have to happen indoors? Chile, Spain and many other year-round producers do it in greenhouses / hoop tunnels. Vertical farming/airoponics and so on to help scale food production.

I think the bigger problem is if we kill the ocean through sea level rise, warming, deoxygenation and acidification, then we kill 3/4 of oxygen production (but we would still have 100k-400k years supply) and 2%+ of the food supply.
