Unless you’re very elderly, I think there’s a good chance you will.

A good chance humans will be extinct or killed off enough for civilization to end in the next 70 years? Highly unlikely.

Even worst case global warming scenarios would just cull the population back a hundred years or so.

Yep, scary but still nowhere near extinction.

55, and I plan to see the start of the third act (which is arguably, umm, now), but I'm confident I won't get to see the credits roll. For the sake of everyone else, OMG I hope I don't, at least.
