   Many have been making similar predictions for years.   
      
   I believe that before we have a complete human extinction, there will   
   instead be a massive collaspse of our current economic system.   
      
   This will result in massive global starvation, diseases, and wars.   
      
   But some people will survive. Hopefully, when we re-develop technology   
   we will use it in a more sustainable manner. I do not see any easy way   
   to mitigate the global collapse, unless we can somehow limit population   
   growth before it is imposed on us.   
      
   I.e. maybe we should pre-emptively spread a few new diseases or wage   
   pointless wars so that the inevitable collapse will be less severe when   
   it does arrive.
