That Which Survives

Some alarmists (or folks poking fun at alarmists) talk about climate change (for example) as an extinction event for humans.  But that's unlikely. Humans will almost certainly adapt to dramatic climate change. We won't die out.

But that doesn't mean civilization will survive. Or that we (those left of us) will be happy.  Or, if we are, that we'll know how far we've fallen.
