We've survived pretty apocalyptic situations in our rise on Earth, with far fewer tools. I know things are going to be hard but they're not insurmountable, we will go on.
What stings about it is that this coming one is self-inflicted despite plenty of warning, and now it's tool late and the ones who will suffer the most are the ones least responsible for it, the people in developing countries, and of course the animals of our world.
Still, life will continue, people will live on, the world will change. A million years from now will happen with or without us, and by then it will be a whole new world with a whole new set of issues, life forms and problems.
