>>12936697I think the risk is in the unkown. There's a possibility of food-chain collapse from some unforseen consequence in the near future if certain keystone species die, which we may not even realize until we see marked changed
"We" as a species will certainly survive- if something actually threatens us, we turn all resources to it until it is solved- the problem is that it could be fast enough that our modern civilizations would collapse; "we are always 3 meals away from chaos".
If we have a big enough disruption in food production, everything goes to shit. Mass starvation, mad max for a few years/decades, then we reign it in, but the world will look quite different.
I think people are scared of their new PS5 games being delayed, famine and starvation being the cause. and less-so that all humans will die; I don't think that will ever happen.
